Belletristik / Hauptwerk vor 1945
Beschreibung
A vivid novel of love and spiritual growth set in the Scottish Highlands from the 19th-century Victorian-era author of Castle Warlock. This wonderful Scottish tale from 1893, not so expansive of theme and scope as some of MacDonald’s lengthier Scottish stories, is yet poignantly moving in its own way. The descriptions of the highlands and the lives of its people are the equal of those in Castle Warlock and What’s Mine’s Mine. Who, after reading the story of Kirsty Barclay in Heather and Snow, will forget her brother Steenie’s cry after “the bonny man!” Indeed, Kirsty is one of MacDonald’s most memorable women, whose lifelong friendship with neighbor Francis Gordon is the unifying thread through the story, as both mature from youth into adulthood.
