3.0
Rambling and sincere. This novel is built around the device of a story telling group got up to improve the spirits of the depressed Adela. This worked well in parts, but oftentimes, it seemed that MacDonald mainly cared about the containing story in so far as it provided a structure for the inner stories and poems. This would have been more reasonable had the stories not been so varied in quality.
Overall, this book is something more to be appreciated by those who enjoy George MacDonald's philosophy than by those who enjoy his stories.
