One of my favorite novels to read for the feeling of comfort it gives me. Goudge has a way of presenting families which shows the interdependence of family members. Goudge is not so well know in the US as in England, but I discovered her by accident years ago and have searched out her novels for my collection. This one is my all-around favorite, but I also really love The Scent of Water. There is a bittersweet edge to her novels which makes it possible to reread them and get something new from them another time. I highly recommend that you give a Goudge novel a try, especially if you like the Virago publishing series of women authors (of which she is not one). ( ) Second in the 'Eliots of Damerosehay' series. Lucilla persuades her son George to buy an old inn, the Herb of Grace, despite his wife being less than impressed. Discoveries are made, lessons are learned, and new people are woven into the Eliot tapestry of life. A lovely book that leaves a good feeling at the end. But it's not fast-moving at all; it's descriptive and gentle. Very much worth re-reading every few years; best to read after 'A Bird in the Tree' although it stands alone. Second in the Eliot family chronicles, this story focuses on the healing properties of the old Pilgrim Inn, the Herb of Grace which are balm to the spirits and bodies of those worn out by the second world war. Although full of her idiosyncratic spirituality the book is neither religious nor sentimental. I do like this book but will take a little break from Elizabeth Goudge for a while as she is rather rich fare and is best taken in modest doses. Don't be put off by the hideous cover of this edition! nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Few understand Elliot's anguish at losing Nadine. He came back from the war a shattered and lonely man. But his return to the Eliot family refuge on England's Hampshire coast is gradually pushing back the dark waters of soul and spirit. Nadine and her husband have settled with their children in a wonderful old inn not far away. Surrounded by a wild and mysterious wood, the guesthouse seems to be able to mendminds and bodies. Pilgrims from the past and new ones now finding their way to this healing comforting oasis sweeps readers into a story of intertwining destinies, of love lost and love forever gained.
