Customer Reviews

GRace Livingston Hill is an acquired taste

First of all, this is a Christian romance novel. Grace Livingston Hill wrote in the early part of the 1900's for the most part and her ideas of what is right for a Christian (especially a woman) are not the same as ours. Also, she, like so many romance writers, had a certain amount of "formula" to her writing. Still, for light reading, it can be interesting. In general, if you read one of her novels and hate it, you probably aren't going to be that interested in any of the others. And if you loved it, you'll probably like most of her novels (she wrote dozens and dozens of them) also. This particular one is a favorite of mine, although I think it's a little idealized. The bottom line is, expect to read about a different time with different ideas about how to dress, etc.

Cloudy Jewel

Having read most of Grace Livingston Hill's books, I know that they are not all gems. This book, however, truly is one. The story is largely about the re-established relationship between the aunt and her college-aged niece and nephew, and how, through the loveliness of the aunt's character, her example and guidance, they come to know God. All the usual storyline elements are included. The aunt, who has been the silent suffering servant for most of her life, is rewarded with the love of the two (wealthy) children of her dead brother, to fill the place of the children she never had. Unkind relatives try unsuccessfully to thwart their plans. She and the niece and nephew find a house and make it into a beautiful home, in which many of their college friends enjoy spending time. Also, romance enters the picture for each of the main characters. A lovely, truly spiritual book that examines various Biblical issues.
