Predictable, but so full of atmosphere and childish delight that's it's catching. And the Humanities Major in me loved it. ( ) Sweet book! Henrietta seems much younger than her 11 years to me, but a delightful Christmas story that can be read any time of year. Good old fashioned story of faith, redemption and the uplifting, challenging power of creativity and art. Perfect illustration by C. Walter Hodges. I will share this with my Vintage Book Circle reading group. I'm sure they will love it, too. A slim volume, featuring 11-year-old Henrietta who lives with her grandparents. Her rather vague writer father comes home for Christmas, and this is the catalyst for a series of secrets. Gently caricatured people, interesting descriptions, and a delightful heroine (who also features in the book 'Henrietta's House' by the same author). The storyline is predictable, but no less enjoyable for that. There's a strong Christian theme, although it's not at all pushy, and also quite a bit of philosophising. Could appeal to anyone over the age of about nine or ten who enjoys thoughtful books with some quite complex language. My GGB edition has a brief introduction explaining the Cathedral on which the story is based, and a biography of the author. A tad pricey, and not always easy to find; but well worth borrowing if you can. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

In "The Sister of the Angels," Elizabeth Goudge takes us back to the City of Bells, and tells an enchanting story about Henrietta, a young girl in love with every nook and cranny of her grandfather's cathedral. This is a perfect story for the holiday season, and, because of its peace and charm, a book to cherish all the year round. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
