| Publisher Description: Few understood David Eliot 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 into a wonderful old inn not far away. Surrounded by a wild and mysterious wood, the guesthouse seems to be able to mend minds and bodies. Pilgrims from the past and new ones now finding their way to this healing, comforting oasis sweep readers into a story of intertwining destinies, of love lost, and love forever gained. "I can think of few authors whose writing I enjoy more than those of Elizabeth Goudge. She has the rare ability to express herself unforgettably and is able to transport you into another world and time, in which you find yourself immensely enriched and entertained. Ruth Bell Graham "To many who read this novel it will be the best-written novel they have yet read. . . It lifts up the spirits and makes them light." New York Herald Tribune" |
