A review by dissendiumnox
La Colline aux gentianes by Elizabeth Goudge
Did not finish book. Stopped at 60%.
I think that this is one of those cases of "not the right moment".
Also in the synopsis, they compared it to Wuthering heights, so i guess i was expecting an atmospheric, gothic-ish, passionate romance story. That's not AT ALL what this is. It's more in the vein of Thomas Hardy and pastoral novel. Or, at least, up until page 300. I just couldn't see myself reading two hundred more pages of this. It was sweet but I think i needed a bit more of a "punch".
