The Elsie Dinsmore Novels, Martha Finley, in our opinion is the author of the best Series of novels that we have seen in our forty-three years of reviewing. Written by Martha Finley, an unmarried teacher of the last century, these novels proved to be a means of conveying her deep love for Christ Jesus. She loved her Lord, she loved His Word, and this love was passed on to His sheep through the writing of by far the best and most Biblical novels you will ever read or see. Altogether there are 28 of these novels, all built around Elsie Dinsmore, her immediate family, her extended family, and her neighbors. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

This was a book geared toward children and teens, but it is a book rich with action, optimism and historical flair, good enough for adults. It is suggested that these books are best read in order, a lot happens before Elsie's Womanhood, making this story a shift in many ways from the previous books.
Elsie is engaged to the man she loves, enjoying and struggling with the transition from a daughter, closely watched over, to a stately wife in charge of several properties and a growing family. Finley's writing is meticulous and smooth with storylines and characters linking together.
Their are some brief, grim scenes in this about the times of slavery and viewpoints that show how different society was back then. Disturbing to a modern reader, yet it was still progressive for the time, as the reader will see. Elsie is a strong and gallant character - showing a well written and thought out female lead in early literature. There is a happiness and uplifting feeling throughout the book both in writing style and personality of the characters.
A lot happens in this book - mine is an original copy which reads very well - making this a great and surprising reading experience. ( )
