Chronicle To Books The Rosary
"The Rosary" is a beautiful love story. Gareth Dalmain falls in love with the Honorable Jane Champion. She loves him back, but does not trust his love, as is known to be a great lover of beauty, and she - alas - is very plain. Just as she decides to trust him, she receives news that he has been blinded in a hunting accident. She wants to go visit him, but he will not receive her, as he wants only her love - not her pity. With the help of their mutual friend and doctor, she gets the position as his nurse under a presumed name, and thereby gets to know the 'new' Gareth.Rating Of Books The Rosary

The book starts as a sparkling little description of an eccentric duchess and her house party. Love quickly enters, and the book becomes maudlin in the extreme. "The Rosary" of the title refers to a popular song, in which the singer imagines each bead of the rosary as a memory. So, the book is not about the rosary, though religious references are frequent.The Rosary is a gorgeous love story about two beautiful souls. "You painted her souland it illuminated her plain face.""I SAW her soul," said Garth, almost in a whisper; "and that vision was so radiant that it illumined my dark life. The remembrance lightens my darkness, even now."
I was introduced to "The Rosary" when my mom rescued an old copy of this book from a neighbor's yard sale! The book sat on a bookshelf for several years before she decided to read it! She gave it to me immediately after she finished it...telling me that I wouldn't be able to put it down! And she was right! If you are a fan of Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice", "Sense and Sensibility", or Elizabeth Gaskell's "North and South" then you will enjoy this beautiful love story. It's a refreshing

Melodramatic suffering, sighing and professions of love at their height, which in any other book would induce episodes of gagging and eye rolling in this reader, but which, for some reason, induced feelings of protective loyalty instead. I was convinced that though the dialogue exchanged would be permitted only at the opera today, it was befitting the characters written, whose intense, artistic passions were meant to be felt with intense, dramatic phrases.Of course pure, old fashioned morals,
This is the kind of stories I love, with old-fashioned values and roles of men and women. Hardship and misunderstanding strengthen the bonds of friendship in the end. If you like old-fashioned stories, you will love this one. This is a sequel to The Wheels of Time, and followed by The Mistress of Shenstone - all have references to the same characters. I read them in order, but I think they might be able to be standalone novels. I'm going to check out more of Florence Barclay's works. I found
Can I give this 6 stars? Or more? It was so, so sweet, and I am learning that I really love these obscure books written around the turn of the 20th century. The dialogue was rich and thoughtful and the characters were all just entirely lovable. There was a strong sense of nobility, dignity, and faithfulness that was part of the plot. It was just great.
A quite old-fashioned romance, but well-written. Some of the characters are rather stock in nature, but nonetheless well drawn. It's true that the story is full of sentiment and religion, but the religion is genuine and the so is the sentiment.I quite enjoyed it.
