It was one of those exquisite days that come in every winter in which it seems no longer the dead body but the lovely ghost of summer.

A Beautiful Story,
By
This review is from: Marquis of Lossie (Macdonald, George//Sunrise Centenary Editions of the Works of George Macdonald) (Leather Bound)
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!

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Marquis of Lossie (George MacDonald Original Works) (Hardcover)
I loved Malcolm (the original MacDonald, not the modernized Phillips version) and was delighted to see there was a sequel--a very satisfying sequel.
