A Rough Shaking


Leído por LibriVox Volunteers

(4.7 stars; 22 reviews)

Clare was a wanderer. Orphaned by an earthquake when too young to even remember his full name, his childhood was a succession of challenges and joys, friends and enemies. And animals were always among his best friends.

Through it all, Clare’s pure and loving heart was kept safe to bless and even lead those around him.

“He had had a rough shaking. The earthquake had come and gone… many times. But the shaking earth was his nurse, and she taught him to dwell in a world that cannot be shaken.” - Summary by HannahMary (11 hr 28 min)

(4 stars)

An odd, somewhat rambling tale that follows a gentle young boy through the wanderings and misfortunes of his early life. Sometimes it felt like a children's book, and other times simply a quaint book for any age. There were many readers, bad, good and in between. The various children characters were excellent creations. I kept wishing the story would stick to them for longer instead of moving on. But it is a wanderer's tale. Following a boy more perfect than Elsie Dinsmore, and more innocently attractive.


(3.5 stars)

I really enjoyed this George MacDonald book though I felt it ended a little abruptly. I was left wondering about the little girl who loved Clare. Jane

I'd listen to this author again.
