Heather And Snow

Heather and Snow

by George MacDonald

Heather and Snow is a novel set in the bleak Scottish lowlands, where a retired soldier and his daughter struggle to provide for a kind-hearted but intellectually limited boy. The story is further complicated by the arrival of a headstrong young landlord. While the narrative touches on elements of gothic literature, the overall tone is hopeful and infused with Christian themes. MacDonald explores themes of love, faith, and redemption, weaving them into the lives of his characters and the stark, yet beautiful, Scottish landscape.
