Produktbeschreibung
David Rivers has been ministering in Africa for several years. While on sick leave in England, he meets the fascinating Diana. After leading her to the Lord, she presents an interesting business proposal to him-a proposal of marriage! The only way this independent woman can keep her inheritance is a speedy marriage and who could be a better husband than an absent missionary? Only, what will Diana do when she finds she has actually fallen in love with her husband? Follow David and Diana over the course of several Christmases, as they discover the meaning of true, sacrificial love. This Christian story from 1911 is just simply delightful. It literally made me laugh out loud AND ugly cry. So many emotions! Fans of Jane Austen should find themselves lost in this heart-warming tale. And, if you enjoy it as much as I think you will, be sure to check out "The Rosary" by the same author. Both books deserve a lot more attention. (Pip Elkins)
Autorenporträt
Florence Louisa Barclay (1862-1921) was an English romance novelist, whose works were widely read in the early 20th century. Born on December 2, 1862, Barclay pursued a writing career that flourished particularly after the publication of her best-known novel, 'The Rosary,' in 1909. 'The Following of the Star,' another of her cherished works, is a testament to her signature style that intertwines romance with Christian spirituality. Barclay, through her prose, had an impeccable gift of exploring the emotional landscapes of her characters, concurrently threading a strong spiritual message that appealed to her sizable readership. While her novels were predominantly categorized under romance, they frequently presented themes of faith, love's moral dimensions, and the idea of divine providence guiding individuals' destinies. Not only did her works enjoy commercial success, but they also received critical acclaim for their heartwarming narratives and well-crafted storytelling. Despite her relatively short life, Florence L. Barclay's literary contributions have left an indelible mark and continue to be celebrated for their warmth and humanity. A truly distinguished figure of her time, Barclay's novels remain a loving tribute to her belief in the enduring power of love and faith.
