5.0 out of 5 stars
A beautiful character portrayed!,
By Cloe Duncan "cloe" (Phoenix, Arizona USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Poet and the Pauper (Seasons of the Heart, 1) (Paperback)
Being a disciple of C. S. Lewis, I wanted to read from George MacDonald--an author who is known to have influenced Lewis.I read the "Curate's Awakening" with interest, but the story of Gibbie is a cut above, absolutely touching and meaningful. MacDonald artistically and movingly paints a picture of this young, neglected, then orphaned, mute boy who has a beautiful heart, despite his difficult life. What "gets" me is that he refuses to play at being a victim, although one might jump at the chance--for he is cruely treated in several instances. The book kept me throughout Gibbie's youth until his young adulthood. The beauty of the characterization and the fictional storyline make a thoughtful, heartwarming read and healthy escape. Hats off to Phillips for the edit. |
