Mary Marston (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781161441703)

Mary Marston is a novel written by the renowned Scottish author, George MacDonald. The story revolves around the titular character, Mary Marston, a young woman who lives in a small English village. Mary is a devout Christian and is deeply committed to her faith, which is put to the test when she falls in love with a man named Robert Falconer, who is an agnostic.As Mary and Robert's relationship develops, they find themselves at odds with each other's beliefs, and their differing views on religion create a rift between them. However, as they navigate their differences, they begin to learn more about each other and the world around them, ultimately leading to a greater understanding and appreciation for each other's perspectives.Throughout the novel, MacDonald explores themes of faith, love, and the human experience, weaving together a complex and nuanced story that resonates with readers to this day. With its richly drawn characters, vivid descriptions of rural England, and poignant insights into the human condition, Mary Marston is a timeless classic that continues to captivate readers over a century after its initial publication.The moment she came to herself, apprehension changed into active dread, rushed into uncontrollable terror. She sprang to her feet, and, the worst thing she could do, fled like the wind after Tom-- now, indeed, she imagined, her only refuge! She knew where he had put up his horse, and knew he could hardly take any other way than the foot-path to Testbridge. He could not be more than a few yards ahead of her, she thought. Presently she heard him whistling, she was sure, as he walked leisurely along, but she could not see him.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
