A Rough Shaking

Gelesen von LibriVox Volunteers

(4,667 Sterne; 15 Bewertungen)

Clare was a wanderer. Orphaned by an earthquake when too young to even remember his full name, his childhood was a succession of challenges and joys, friends and enemies. And animals were always among his best friends.

Through it all, Clare’s pure and loving heart was kept safe to bless and even lead those around him.

“He had had a rough shaking. The earthquake had come and gone… many times. But the shaking earth was his nurse, and she taught him to dwell in a world that cannot be shaken.” - Summary by HannahMary (11 hr 28 min)

I really enjoyed this George MacDonald book though I felt it ended a little abruptly. I was left wondering about the little girl who loved Clare. Jane

I'd listen to this author again.
