Thomson As I always find, his novels are difficult at times because of the extensive details given to thoughts, objects and ideas, but it is always worth the effort. There is much to be learned here, and much more enlightening and uplifting than the great murder mysteries I also love. There are also no "traps" here that will get me into areas I do not need to explore.Here I discover that the "least lovely" of the vicar's children has much to share that can inspire me in my walk.You don't have to be totally sold on every aspect of MacDonald's theology to be uplifted by his faith and love for our Creator.

My first George MacDonald book, I am disappointed By deborah This is the first book of George MacDonald's I have read and I was very disappointed - especially since I knew one of my favorite Christian authors, C.S. Lewis, revered his work.The title refers to the narrator, a newlywed young mother. Each chapter relates an anecdote in her life, and as the anecdotes proceed, the chapters deal more and more thoroughly with the practical application of Christian philosophy. I can't really say they deal with the application of Christianity or Christian faith - they were somehow too vague to deserve such high praise. In many ways, I thought they fell pretty short.The anecdotes seem reasonably realistic, though a little random - the arrival of her first child, a gypsy kidnaps her little sister (an adopted gypsy child), the meeting of an interesting friend, her annoying cook, her husband's irresponsible brother, reformation of a gypsy mother, her husband's illness and conversion, exposure of a dying woman's fantasy of Christ, the woman's subsequent self-knowledge, a conversation at a dinner party, etc.I kept waiting for something interesting to happen. Perhaps it's my individual taste, but to me each chapter was so... boring. In hopes the real story was just a long time in getting started, I started to flip through. Nada. It's the same to the end. You can see early on that the husband's brother is in love with the saintly friend - but even that ended boringly. The saint was FAR too saintly to say yes. With C.S. Lewis in the back of my mind, I kept waiting for adventure!!!! No adventure.My strongest criticism of this book isn't that it was boring, but that the author's faith was the kind that makes me impatient. The author found only SOME of God's commands to be worth attention. It is easy to have sympathy for this view, except when it is being offered by a book supposedly written by a great Christian writer. It would be hard to verbalize the many ways this came through. I guess the one that stood out for me the most was that the idea of going to church seemed completely unimportant, as if we need not do it so long as we read the Bible now and then and do good works. But we don't go to church to "get" something, to learn what good works we should do, or even to find out how to take care of our souls, but to worship God! Also, there were only two people in this book who truly did do good works, and neither of them were the narrator.Maybe other George MacDonald books are different, but for me this was a bad first choice. I was disappointed.
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. George MacDonald's daughter, perhaps? By Aslaug Gørbitz - Author I agree with a couple of other reviewers that this book is somewhat boring. Although almost all of his books can be rather plodding at times, this one is, in my opinion, the worst. Somewhere, I can't remember now where, I read that this book was published after his death by his daughter. I have the sneaky suspicion that this book was not only published by his daughter and was about his daughter's life, but in fact might have been written by his daughter. Now that is my own personal opinion, so take it for what it is worth, not much. But I don't think the writing sounds like that of George MacDonald. His writings are those of a man who has made up his mind. There seems to be more doubt in this work, as if the writer is not quite sure of themselves. It reads like a debut and not a book written at the end of a long writing career.
