The Enchanted Barn Grace Livingston Hill Lutz 9781545444313 Books Reviews
This book is one of my all-time favorites. I've lost count of how many times I have read it over the years. Yes, it's a little corny in places, but it's also surprisingly educational, giving a look into what the world was like a century-plus ago. And a very different world it was. This time I caught that our young heroine worked six full days a week. I didn't realize that was how it was. How much we take for granted.
I still find this book a relaxing escape. The people are good to know, and I admit freely the great stone barn plays out one of my long time fantasies. The proselytizing is palatable, less tediously preachy than many of Mrs. Hill's other works.
It's a time and place I enjoy visiting every time. For a relaxing escape from the modern rush and a happy ending, you can't beat it. It's a mini-vacation and it's free. Who could ask for more?
Things had been hard for Shirley's family after her father died and her mother became sick. Shirley had a job as a stenographer, but the entry level pay was low. Her brother had to drop out of school and work at a grocery store. Her sister, Carol, took care of the household chores after school, and sometimes she had to stay home and look after their four-year-old sister, when their mom took a spell for the worse. To make the problems worse, their house was being torn down to make way for a new building, and Shirley could not find another suitable place for such a low rent. One day, she noticed a pretty, old, rock barn and had the idea perhaps they could rent it for a low rate. When she went to see the owner, she met Mr. Sidney Graham, who said he would check out the matter and get back to her. This begins a chain of improvements on the barn and their moving out to it for the summer. Sidney brings his sister, Elizabeth, to see them, and she's Carol's age. Soon the families are visiting back and forth. Shirley's quick wits helps solve two business dilemmas, and Sidney's attraction to her grows. Shirley, however, doesn't think her lower social class will ever be appropriate for him, since he often makes the society page.
This is a sweet story of two remarkable families and how their lives become connected. Too much of the story is told rather than shown, and there is a lot of description, but the story is still interesting. There were a few minor mistakes. "Kelp" for "help" and "toe" for "to" were probably scanning problems. It also read, "The doctor was deeply interest in the barn." I doubted if a wealthy businessman would just happen to have a flashlight in his pocket. It seemed a little strange that a four-year-old girl would always sleep in a crib. At one point, it says George smiled a welcome to Elizabeth, but a little later they had to swing by and pick George up from his work. And, I smiled at the thirty-bedroom cottage. Yet, I did like the novel.
After reading a number of Victorian classics in a row, this made a nice simple and even sweet read. It was a nice change of pace. I liked the premise of the story and the young heroine was very likable. There are a couple of times in the book where it actually gets exciting. It would really appeal to a woman more than a man, I think, because of the romantic aspect of the story. It almost went over the line for me with the increasing religious aspect of the story, especially toward the last third of the book. That would be my only criticism. I could have totally done without that. It was evident that our young heroine and her family were good people with high moral standards. I thought I had read that this author is known for adding that religious aspect to her books, so I was prepared. But, if this is a turn off for you, don't bother with this book.
