Quite the enjoyable read!
The first story is entitled The Unexpected Return and follows the d’Erlau family through their tragic separation during the French Revolution, and finally their joyous reunion.
The second story is that which the book is titled after: The Unexpected Guest. In it you will read of godly Mr. Alkmar, his son Lewis, their pompous relatives, and the faithful Wohlmuth family.
The final story, The Silent Girl, tells of a godly young girl named Melina who was carried off from her mother by robbers, but was found at long last.

Three very edifying and entertaining stories. The first (The Unexpected Return) is an exciting tale of the intricate providence of God in a family separated during the French Revolution.
The second (The Unexpected Guest) is about an elderly man, his son, the money they share, the people who seek after it, and about true women versus the haughty and self-seeking.
The third (The Silent Gil) is about a girl separated from her family and thrust into sordid surroundings yet protected, and her uncle, both of whom re used of God in life-changing ways.
These are stories for young and old, written in days of old, of days of old. Still relevant and helpful in its lessons for today.
