This book displays some amazingly insightful looks at human hearts and motivations. It is a beautiful completion to Malcolm (republished as The Fisherman's Lady).

Here you will see how there often are times in our lives where to follow the laws of God are to guarantee failure in all that we wish to accomplish in life...but that those who, against all reason, place their trust in God, God is able to bring about the deepest desires of our hearts. But sometimes He does not. Sometimes, God brings to light even greater things, though at greater cost.

I love this book.

I discovered George MacDonald when I came across his first novel The Fisherman's Lady. The characters are unique and fresh today as they were in the 1800's. The Marquis' Secret, is a sequel to the first novel. I was so glad to find this author was being revived and that Amazon has most of the titles available online.
In The Marquis' Secret, the protagonist Malcolm MacPhail honors the promise he made to his father to care for his headstrong half-sister, Florimel. She is a handful and is a fresh and current as this generation of young women. I admire George MacDonald's ability to create characters of such universal appeal and agelessness.

Thank you very much for the book! I appreciate the expedience in which it has arrived.

I received this order in great shape in a timely manner! The Marquis' Secret was an excellent read! It made me want to purchase the book "The Fisherman's Lady." - which I did.

This is the second book of a two-part novel. Don't bother to read this book unless you have already read the first one "The Fisherman's Lady". That's where all the characters and their stories are really developed. This second book just continues on with Book 1 without really identifying or explaining who and what is going on. That said, it was as interesting as the first book, worth reading, a good adventure with a spiritual twist. The ending was a bit flat but overall, it was a good read. (Still think Malcolm is too good to be true though. Too bad.)
