She loves him back, but does not trust his love, as is known to be a great lover of beauty, and she - alas - is very plain. Just as she decides to trust him, she receives news that he has been blinded in a hunting accident. She wants to go visit him, but he will not receive her, as he wants only her love - not her pity. With the help of their mutual friend and doctor, she gets the position as his nurse under a presumed name, and thereby gets to know the 'new' Gareth.

Criticism Of Books The Rosary

This is a romance set in the late 1800s. It's very clean, very British, and you know what will happen in the end, but it takes forever for it to happen. The way it does is somewhat unique, but I think I would have liked it better as a short story. It just seemed like it took forever to get from the misunderstanding to the true love. It's a little like Jane Austen, but not nearly as literary. I'm not saying don't read it, but be prepared to want it to be over already. (I read it because it was

2.5* Was intrigued by the very high ratings - 4.12! Had to see what the fuss was about! Apparently a bestseller in 1910. Well...it had it's appeal for me too - I love a heroine who is "plain" (what does that really mean, anyway - not "ugly", it seems, only heroes are allowed to be downright hideous) and logical - Jane Eyre, for instance. Setting Jane Champion against an artist who values physical beauty above all is interesting, I liked that a lot. However, I found it hard to suspend my

Can I give this 6 stars? Or more? It was so, so sweet, and I am learning that I really love these obscure books written around the turn of the 20th century. The dialogue was rich and thoughtful and the characters were all just entirely lovable. There was a strong sense of nobility, dignity, and faithfulness that was part of the plot. It was just great.

This book is so wonderful! I really, really, enjoyed and loved it. There were some humorous parts, some tense parts, some that were lovely and beautiful, and some that made me want to cry. I loved all the life-like characters, and their development was very well done. Definitely one of my favorite romances!Much of a hidden gem, The Rosary follows Jane Champion who thinks herself rather plain and unattractive. When handsome Garth Dalmain promptly falls hard for her, it takes a horrifying accident

http://nwhyte.livejournal.com/1513757.htmlThis romance novel was apparently the best-seller of the year 1910, so I thought I would test the durability of its appeal. What immediately struck me was that this tale of the young English gentry working through the difficulties of their love lives in order to reach the safe haven of engagement and marriage is exactly the kind of thing that P.G. Wodehouse was parodying (there is even an eccentric Duchess with peculiar taste in pets here); so even if

Oh dear. It has started out so well and then...why must romance ruin all the promising stories? About three-fourths of the time a book would be faaaaar better without it. Such was the case with this story. I liked Jane, I did! Until The whole Gareth Dalmain thing happened. Oh dear. Then she became a terrible Paragon of Utter Perfection and lost most of her personality. Aside from her there were two or three characters worth reading about: The Duchess, Mira and that fellow of Gareth's that was

What a find! I'm so glad I found this book. It is truly engrossing from the first pages. And as deeply moving as any Bronte or Austen work. The first half of the book is so perfectly written and edited that I could see the scenes enacted in my head as if watching a movie--for some reason I pictured James McAvoy as the hero. She lags somewhat in the second half, but the urge to know what happens speeds you along. Please read this one--it's such a beautiful book. Now I'm off to read another
