    <body><![CDATA[A Victorian gothic tale of redemption and discovery. The title and the title character seems to set this book up as a romance, but while all the romantic hallmarks are present(beautiful lady of the manor, handsome and honest but low-born fisherman) there is very little actual romance here. The book ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75539441">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I thought I should read George McDonald because C.S. Lewis says that all he ever wrote was influenced by him.  So I grabbed The Fisherman's Lady off the shelf and delved in--not know it was a &quot;mystery&quot;--not a genre that I would ordinarily choose.  But it was great.  I couldn't put it down....<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/51985354">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was a good book, but the surprise at the end was a little too unconventional for me. Also it is a very hard book to read; i think it took me 2 or 3 weeks to get through. It is still an excellent book, though and I love George MacDonald's books!]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[George MacDonald wrote in the 1800s(I think that is time period.) He was a preacher and I love reading his sermons. This is not a sermon. It is a serial story that was published in the newspaper. It reminds me of a Jane Austin story. He starts out slow and then everything comes together.

Get the sequel ready - a  real cliff hanger!<br/><br/>Original book - Malcolm 5 stars<br/>original sequel - The Marquis of Lossie 5 stars]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book started off really slow for me.  The author introduced a lot of characters that didn't seem to fit together and then just left them.  I had read quite a bit before I was really in to it.  By the end all of the characters fit together and it was a pretty good book.]]></body>
