13 of 14 people found the following review helpful. A Beautiful Story By D. Hindle This book is the story of a noble heart. It is the sequel to Malcom. A young fisherman-turned-groom seeks to do right by his half sister after learning that he is the true Marquis of Lossie. This book is in its original form. The dialect can be a little hard to sift through ("I canna weel du that, sir; she canna be muckle waur," said the youth.) MacDonald can be a bit preachy. A quote from this book: ''You are like all the rest of the Scotch I ever knew...the Scotch are always preaching! I believe it is in their blood." The book does not move as fast as modern readers are used to, but is well worth reading. There is intrigue, humor, scandal and redemption. Enjoy!
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Well worth reading! By Annette C. Collins Without fear of exaggeration, this is the most convicting novel I have ever read.The plot - while page turning - is not really the point. Set in the mid 19th century and taking place in London and Scotland, this sequel to is a relatively straightforward tale of love triangles, unsuitable suitors, wealthy, spoiled heiresses, a little intrigue and attempted murder, and herring fishing. (OK, so the latter does not regularly turn up in romantic fiction. Give it a chance: it fully belongs here!)But the real point of this story is the preaching. Malcolm's friend and mentor Alexander Graham makes regular appearances, and while one may rightly claim that his chapters do not precisely assist in the main thrust of the plot, they - along with Malcom's own frequent philosophic meditations - are nevertheless the raison d'etre of the book.Through these sermons and ruminations, I found myself challenged to be an 'engineer' of religion, and not a mere philosopher. I found myself convicted of an ongoing tendency to separate religion and life into independent, rarely communicating compartments - as if separated religion is anything at all. And I found my concept of salvation being stretched far beyond the rather binary boundaries of my childhood into something more resembling the journey suggested by the parable of the narrow gate and straight road.Rather than continue this review in my own words, I will simply quote a few of the passages I highlighted."Obedience is the key to every door. I am perplexed at the stupidity of the ordinary religious being. In the most practical of all matters, he will talk, and speculate, and try to feel, but he will not set himself to do." (Page 319)"Whoever can think of religion as an addition to life, however glorious -- a starry crown, say, set upon the head of humanity, is not yet least in the kingdom of heaven. Whoever thinks of life as something that could be without religion, is in deathly ignorance of both. Life and religion are one, or neither is anything..."(Page 386)(A conversation between Clementina and Florimel)"For my part, I would give all I have to know there was a God worth believing in."..."Of course there is a God. It is very horrible to deny it.""Which is worse -- to deny it, or to deny him? Now, I confess to doubting it -- that is, the fact of a God; but you seem to me to deny God himself, for you admit there is a God -- think it very wicked to deny that, and you you don't take interest enough in him to wish to learn anything about him."(Page 305)(A conversation between Clementina and Malcolm)"Our Lord speaks of many coming up to his door confident of admission, whom he yet sends from him. Faith is obedience, not confidence.""Then I do well to fear.""Yes, my lady, so long as your fear makes you knock the louder.""But if I be in, as you say, how can I go on knocking?""There are a thousand more doors to knock at after you are in, my lady. No one content to stand just inside the gate will be inside it long. But it is one thing to be in, and another to be satisfied that we are in....He who does what his Lord tells him, is in the kingdom, if every feeling of heart and brain told him he was out. And his Lord will see that he knows it one day. But I do not think, my lady, one can ever be quite sure, until the king himself has come in to sup with him, and has let him know that he is altogether one with him."(Page 410)A final note:This book was published in 1891 and a large portion of the action takes place in the author's native Scotland. There is a fair bit of dialog in Scotch, which appears to the modern eye as misspelled, contracted English with a half-dozen bizarre words thrown in for good measure. I did not find my occasional incomprehension of one or two phrases or even an entire paragraph to be especially annoying or to detract terribly from the story. And the author takes pity on us: many of the characters are English, Malcolm himself takes care to speak English in their presence, and provides translations when they are truly necessary.But, if this sort of thing is really annoying to you, or if you are simply intimidated by a 400+ page historical novel with preaching, then by all means read the abridgment, "The Marquis' Secret." I personally read this book's prequel in the abridged form ("The Fisherman's Lady") and was still prompted to immediately find the sequel in any form. However, I intend to go back and re-read "Malcolm" in the author's original in the immediate future!PS: eBook Lovers - This book is available as a free download from Project Gutenberg!
