Description As Books The Fisherman's Lady

I have wanted to return to these MacDonald novels for years now and finally read this one again. It is the story of Malcolm. How does it hold up? At first I didn’t think I was going to like it again at all. I did not enjoy the old piper’s ravings and I remembered being endeared to him before. In the end I found myself anxious to pick up The Marquis Secret which is a sequel to this one. These novels are rambling diversions with forays of great depth. I especially loved the “witnessing” conversation between Mr. Graham and the old Marquis.

Comment On Containing Books The Fisherman's Lady

George MacDonald is probably my favorite author. C. S. Lewis says about his books: "I never wrote a book in which I did not quote George MacDonald." This story shows, like many of his books do, the presence of God in the lives of the characters. I always learn something about God and His relationship to me when I read his books.

I would have rated it five stars except for a twist at the end that destroyed my ship. (WHY. THAT WAS SO CRUEL.) Otherwise, I absolutely adored it, from its old-fashioned writing style, to its memorable characters, and its quaint, beautiful setting. Malcom is the best. Just sayin'. ♥I'm hoping the next book measures up--and makes up for this one's disappointment!

George MacDonald is my all-time-favorite author. George MacDonald was a prolific writer of fiction, adult and children's fantasies, realism, allegory, devotions, essays, poetry, and sermons. I quote from Wikipedia here: George MacDonald (10 December 1824 18 September 1905) was a Scottish author, poet, and Christian minister.Known particularly for his poignant fairy tales and fantasy novels, George MacDonald inspired many authors, such as W. H. Auden, J. R. R. Tolkien, C. S. Lewis, E. Nesbit and

I thought I should read George McDonald because C.S. Lewis says that all he ever wrote was influenced by him. So I grabbed The Fisherman's Lady off the shelf and delved in--not know it was a "mystery"--not a genre that I would ordinarily choose. But it was great. I couldn't put it down. The character development, the conflict of good and evil, the Scottish flavor all intrigued me. There's a sequel which is not on my bookshelf so I must hunt it down. In the meantime I read two more of his books!!

A Victorian gothic tale of redemption and discovery. The title and the title character seems to set this book up as a romance, but while all the romantic hallmarks are present(beautiful lady of the manor, handsome and honest but low-born fisherman) there is very little actual romance here. The book is more about Malcolm (said fisherman) and his literal journey of self-discovery, and the contrast of his god-fearing ways with the wickedness and world-weariness of those around him. Definitely a

Dear Christian Romance Writers,THIS is what you need to be reading. MacDonald combines some of the great in all genres, offers some fabulous spiritual truths, and creates a charming male hero who is strong and Godly without alienating the reader. It's pure genius. True, he is overtly fond of the adjective "manly"...but why shouldn't manly become more of our vocabulary? Why shouldn't there be a wholesome hero? Its encouraging and should be taken note of.Loved The Fisherman's Lady. I can't wait to

George MacDonald is/was an awesome storyteller. Although the author was a contemporary of Charles Dickens, his characters are honorable and contemporary to today. The main character, Malcolm, silently endures many trials -- so unlike quick and angry reactions of people today. His character makes me want to read on, hoping that he will get all he wants and deserves by the book's end. I was not disappointed, but needed to read the sequel, The Marquis' Secret to finish the story line.
