Way heavier on the moralizing and religion than [b:The Enchanted Barn|574131|The Enchanted Barn|Grace Livingston Hill|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1227461578s/574131.jpg|561130], but there's a happy ending so let's be honest, I liked it. ( ) A friend I made in college introduced me to this author. Grace Livingston Hill (or GLH) was the one of the first Christian romance writers. This book reverses the roles a bit in that the woman is the one who is knowledgable and capable of supporting herself while the man is the one who needs to be taught. Everyone in Elizabeth's family is dead. Her brother was murdered and now the man that murdered him wants Elizabeth for his own and he will stop at nothing to have her. She buys some time by telling him that the dead come back to haunt their home at night. She asks him to give her a few days to grieve but she knows he will be back soon. That night she packs some food and rides her horse away from the only home she has known. While some may like this book, I found it boring. I finished because I hate to leave a book unfinished, no matter how much I dislike it. Of course, I have never been a fan of western fiction so that may have a lot to do with it. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Grace Livingston Hill (1865-1947) was an early 20th Century "Christian Romance" novelist. She was immensely popular in the time that she wrote, contributing hundreds of novels and short stories during her lifetime. Her characters were most often young female ingenues, frequently strong Christian women or those who become so within the confines of the story. Graces messages are quite simplistic in nature: good versus evil. As Grace believed the Bible was very clear about what was good and what was evil in life, she reflected that cut-and-dried design in her own works. She touched on subjects such as infidelity, defiance, hard-heartedness towards God, and deception, to name just a few. Grace wrote about them all and could manage a happy, or at least satisfactory, ending to any situation. Jesus, the ever-present (though unseen) reoccurring character, manages to heal or mend any situation Grace imagined. It was no wonder that in her days she was known as the "Queen of Christian Romance. " Her works include: The Girl from Montana (1908), The Mystery of Mary (1911) and Lo, Michael (1913).
