This is a beautiful book. I savored every bit. It has a lot of sweet romance but also shows good virtues in the characters. It is a story of man searching for his love and doing everything and anything to win her love and give her happiness. It tells that true love is not a feeling, but an action and a choice that never dies and endures much. It is so dreamy and a must-read for every romancer out there.I always enjoy reading Gene Stratton-Porter, and this was no exception. A very sweet love story with a hero you can really admire, more for what is on the inside than what is on outside (but don't get me wrong, he was very rugged and handsome in my head! hehe). The setting is gorgeous as it tends to be in her novels, her descriptions of the natural world are beautiful, but peppered with a scientific view that helps to keep them grounded a bit.
I adore this Limberlost book. It is different from the other two Limberlost books in many ways but it's so very ethereal and beautiful. Where was this book when I was 14 years old? I needed this book back then. I'll tell you where it was-- probably out of print! I read the GSP books that I could get my hands on when I was that age and I never came across this one. Thank goodness for this electronic age that we live in that is bringing these old gems back to life!
This is the picture of how a man and woman's relationship should be. I love David. I love Ruth. If I could, I would marrry somebody like David, somebody who is passionate, noble, and caring. If more men strove to reach this standard, our world would be a better place. :
I thought Laddie would always be my favorite Gene Stratton Porter book...I was wrong. I picked up a worn, weather beaten copy of the Harvester which was published in 1911. It belonged to my husbands grandmother and I have wanted to read it for years, but feared I would ruin it. Yesterday, I gently picked it up and began to try the waters. I put it down twice; once to sleep and the next when I had finished it. It is the most enchanting, inspiring story of love and life that I have yet
This book is all about a mans love for a woman, love is not forced, love is patient, love is kind, love is healing, love is joyful. If everyone were only to be able to be loved in this way the world would be a better place! There were times in the novel that I wanted to skip past some of the details of the flowers, land, seeds etc (even though I am in love with all things that grow in my garden) but once the story settle on the love story it flowed better for me.
Please don't let my wife read this book - I would never hear the end of it. The reader should remember that David Langston, Porter's Harvester, was, after all, only a fictional character. He never really existed. Having said that, I was mesmerized by the sweep, intensity and energy of this book. I don't think I've ever read a more moving love story, albeit one-sided. Porter's premise, her style, her profuse imagery were unique. At times, the narrative and commentary were slow-paced (I kept
