So much brogue dialog (Broad Scottish from the 1800s). Deciphering it took my pleasure away, and the story seemed tedious to me. Life is short, and I am old. Did not finish. ( ) A young minister, on his first assignment at a church of a strict Scottish sect call Auld Licht (Old Light), falls in love with the most unsuitable woman possible. Gavin Dishart is more mature than Tommy Sandys or Peter Pan (more typical Barrie heroes) and he is a witness to the power of romantic love, but (to his credit) Barrie sets it up in a fairly inobtrusive way. Charming and less heavy than expected. "The Little Minister by J. M. Barrie was first published in "Good Words" magazine, spanning the months January to December 1891. Reckoned to be Barrie's best work, it is one of several novels about the fictional village of "Thrums", said to be modeled on Barrie's home town of Kirriemuir. In 1840's Scotland, a young Scottish pastor falls in love with an educated, radiant gypsy girl, who turns out to be a peeress who impersonates a gypsy and smoothes things over between rebellious weavers and the authorities in 1840 Scotland." geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Short excerpt: Gavin Dishart was barely twenty-one when he and his mother came to Thrums light-hearted like the traveller who knows not what awaits him at the bend of the road. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
