Heather and Snow
George MacDonald
Read by Hannah Mary
Set in the barren lowlands of Scotland with a small cast of characters, both lives and landscape are vividly portrayed and masterfully intertwined. Through the years, a retired soldier and his daughter do their best to care for a weak-minded, large-souled boy and a headstrong, wayward young landlord.
Though one of MacDonald's somewhat gothic-style novels, even the darker portions are shot through with gleams of hope and love for "The Bonny Man" (Jesus). - Summary by HannahMary (7 hr 43 min)

Reviews
Lovely!

What a sweet tale, and so sweetly read! The Scots dialect is so well done! It is rather hard to understand sometimes, but I love it anyway and almost always can get the gist of it. (Having read 'Kidnapped' some years ago really helped :) This is my first of MacDonald's, and I am excited to try more. The characters felt so authentic and close. I especially felt a strange attraction for Steenie: his simple yet profound faith was so refreshing.

This was written and read in such thick brogue that it was too troublesome to make out. Gave up
