Heather and Snow

Set in the barren lowlands of Scotland with a small cast of characters, both lives and landscape are vividly portrayed and masterfully intertwined. Through the years, a retired soldier and his daughter do their best to care for a weak-minded, large-souled boy and a headstrong, wayward young landlord.

Though one of MacDonald's somewhat gothic-style novels, even the darker portions are shot through with gleams of hope and love for "The Bonny Man" (Jesus). - Summary by HannahMary (7 hr 43 min)
