Rainbow Cottage, No. 16

Summary: an introduction
Review: This was the first introduction I had to Grace Livingston Hill. Both my Mother and my Grandmother had read her, and collected her books over the years. Upon my first reading, I found myself swept up into the World that Mrs. Hill creates. I love her characters.
The main character of this book I found sweet and fill of the life of christ, which is what Mrs. Hill is trying to get across. She struggles through several hardships, and through it all bears her burdens with a sweet resolve that I wish was more prevelant in our society today.
Throughout the book I was kept enthralled by Mrs. Hill's vivid descriptions of the house (Rainbow Cottage), of the Grandmother, the garden, the sea, and the other characters who all play their own distinct role... It all made it very real for me.
If you like imagery and a well concoted plotline, then I would suggest Rainbow Cottage as an introduction to the prolific world of Grace Livingston Hill.

Summary: a lil to thick
Review: well I read the book for a school project and found it to be semi interestign at first then she started laying on the biblical stuff really thick and her fairy tale story was to predictable for my tastes. but if you like her books I found it strikingly similar to April Gold which I found much more interessting.
