I can not easily explain my love for the work of George D. MacDonald. His stories fill me with such peace and hope. They somehow make it easier for me to accept and endure with grace the hardship and sorrow that has come my way. The characters often show how to have great spirit whatever comes along. What daughter could hope for a better mother and father than than the Vicar and Mrs. Walton
I had a hard time getting through this although I liked its prequel. I really don't know if it was the book's fault or the fault of the reading lethargy that has been my constant struggle during the pandemic.
I loved this book. The main character, Connie, had a trust and hope in the Lord that was incredibly strong. Despite the agony she endured, she was so grounded in Christ that she was not shaken by the storms that assailed her. Her heart was beautiful and she was inspiring.
It was ok. Not MacDonalds best book and I missed some of the atmosphere from the first book. We follow the family Walton who because of an riding accident moves to the sea in order that Connie will get well. It contains a lot of preaching but he still manages to keep you going with some gems hidden in between. The story continues in the next book so it is nor really a stand alone book.
