Middle Window [Hardcover]

Elizabeth Goudge (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 10, 1976

Judy Cameron is ever so bored with London and her glamorous, perfect life. Stifled, her imagination seizes on a picture she sees in a shop window, a picture of the Scottish wilds. It inspires her.

Strong-willed, she prevails on her parents and fiance to change their summer plans and head for cold, damp Scotland--sure that there she will find the freedom she craves.

Elizabeth Goudge is known for her romantic portrayals of life in England during the early decades of the 20th century.

A perfect romance story. Well written and totally engrossing! Combine Scotland, a lively and intelligent group of characters, and a little reincarnation, and viola!

I have read this book many times over the years. It is a favorite of mine and no doubt will hold a prominent position on your bookshelf as well. Elizabeth Goudge deftly tells a tale of Scotland through the ages. Her characters are well developed. The heroine recalls a love affair that transcends lives and geographical locale. Her lover, a soldier, comes to her through the middle window and their boundless love brings them both joy and suffering. No other book takes readers on a love journey through the silver seas.

5.0 out of 5 stars love and reincarnation, February 17, 2004

A story about a couple which is able to discover a past life and continue their mission. Elizabeth Goudge was interested by idea of reincarnation and imagine how things which have not been solved in the past could go on in the present. A love story which can make believe how important our deeds are. A lovely country and a part of history.
