Maeve Binchy meets CS Lewis,
This review is from: Bird in the Tree (The Eliot Chronicles) (Paperback)
What a remarkable writer Goudge is. Lyrical descriptions; deep insight into the dreams and motivations of people: she helps us see ourselves at our best, and then shows us people who achieve good and loving things without making them seem heroic.And she's a great story-teller. This is not hard, gritty fiction; it is lovingly written, with characters we come to care about, deeply. The depth of her soul and her sense of values shine in her writing. She shows us a world that is filled with beauty and glory, and then shows us that this is our world, if we have eyes to see.

A feast of visual imagery,
By sandy (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bird in the Tree (Hardcover)
Ingenious, insightful, creative, clever....A feast of visual imagery. This author is amazing. It should be required for high school reading to study similes, descriptive comparisons, etc. All married people should read this book. The values of tradition, faithfulness, reliability, respect, trust...all come forth in the most colorful arrangement. I heard it on tape first. Would love to have a copy of the book to highlight the clever narratives.

A feast of visual imagery,
By sandy (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Bird In The Tree (Audio Cassette)
A feast of visual imagery. McCadden's narrative is superb. She brings each character to life as if she could throw her voice into young, old, male and female. Hats off to you. Goudge is remarkable. I enjoyed listening in the car driving about. Would love to get a copy in print to highlight the imaginative, colorful, descriptive comparisons, etc.
