Blatantly preachy and somewhat judgmental of the English world and values. Not one of my fave Lewis books.

A great story-one that kept you going until the end of it. Seeing the different cultures intermingle and the tenderness that it was done is truly a testament to Beverly Lewis. Truly an amazing author!!

Excellent. Mrs. Lewis does relationships very well!
