This is an amazing Christian story. Two English sisters, middle class in thinking and habits though belonging to a wealthy mercantile family, spend a season in Scotland. The displaced family who's estate they have purchased is the lead family of an impoverished Scottish clan, and are deeply Christian. The two sons especially must struggle to overcome the visiting family's horrifyingly patronising English manners as well as their open rudeness to people they perceive as having less wealth and status than themselves. The two girls very gradually become aware of their spiritual emptiness and extremely vapid, shallow personal development. Romance ensues, but not in a predictable manner.
Those are the bare bones of the story, but the meat is in the incredibly skillful and honest portrayal of all of the characters' thoughts, weaknesses, temptations, struggles with those temptations, and ongoing search for an ever closer relationship to God. MacDonald is an unbelievably skillful writer and I was so engaged, I could hardly put the book down. His own philosophy - that Christians must obey Jesus in order to know Him, and that nothing else we can do approaches seeking God in importance - is clearly woven through the characters' challenges and their responses to them. As a writer who was immensely productive during the Romantic period, MacDonald's love of and appreciation for nature is also a large part of this story, and you feel as though you can see the beautiful Scottish scenery he describes almost as though you were walking through it yourself.
While I was reading this story, I became a much stronger and more obedient Christian. Maybe more importantly, I more clearly recognized where a positive effort to approach and obey God was required. Some things that were holding me back were easier to let go of, and I also clearly saw how I, at least, was required to respond to difficult people and situations (I seemed to be bombarded with these during the time I was reading, in fact!) So, it had a great effect on me. I can hardly recommend it enough for Christians looking for a really solid, rich story that will leave them with more at then end than they had at the beginning.
Note The story has two more Volumes, also available for free on . This review is really for the whole story of three volumes.
