The Golden Arrow
Mary Webb
Leído por Anne Erickson
Deborah, a young girl from a Shropshire farm family, falls so deeply in love with the new preacher that she agrees to live with him as man and wife without marriage. She instinctively understands that finding love is like finding the mystical golden arrow--a lesson that Stephen has yet to learn. Their relationship, combining the most pragmatic aspects of rural life with a sublime vision of the natural world, is paralleled by that of her brother Joe and his bride Lily, a restless girl who sees her marriage only as an escape from her domineering father. - Summary by Anne Erickson (8 hr 46 min)

Reseñas
Nell Grey
I'm glad I read somewhere that Cold Comfort Farm is a parody inspired by The Golden Arrow, or novels like it, as knowing this I was able to see the connections and smile as Mary Webb played upon her readers' emotions in this roller coaster of a novel with its cast of memorable characters. The reader did a good job with the West Country tongue - I won't say accent as she kept her own - and the descriptions of the Shropshire countryside and farm creatures and wildlife were beautiful.
