Publisher Description

It was a gray, windy noon in the beginning of autumn. The sky and the sea were almost of the same color, and that not a beautiful one. It was sad weather and depressing to not a few of the thousands come to Burcliff to enjoy a holiday which, whether of days or of weeks, had looked short to the labor weary when first they came.

Once again another wonderful story!

As I continue to read George MacDonald each book seems better than the previous one that I read. That is course in not true since they are each special. This one seemed different maybe because the characters were so obviously flawed. Each one struggling through their own spiritual battles. MacDonald alludes to the ‘prodigal son story’ in the Bible and that is maybe, in my mind, a central theme of this wonderful novel!
