Book Reviews of Christy: The Collectors Edition
Book Review: Loved it!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of those classic novels that you could read again and again. I hadn't read it since high school twenty years ago and just re-read Christy last week. I like it even better now than I did then (and I loved it then, too). I would have loved to have had Catherine Marshall's version of a sequel (hopefully it would have consisted of a continuation of Neil & Christy's romance), but I guess we get to imagine the "happily ever after" instead. It's a great read!
Summary of Christy: The Collectors Edition
Christy-Catherine Marshall's masterpiece and first work of fiction-has sold millions of copies, topped several literary guild selection lists since its 1967 release, and been staged as a musical, play, motion picture, and two TV series. It is a timeless story of how one person can make a difference.Based on the experience of Marshall's mother, Leonora Wood, the novel tells about Christy Huddelston who left home at nineteen to teach school in the beautiful but poverty-stricken Smoky Mountains. Christy's faith in God and love for the people is challenged by hardship, disappointment, and primitive surroundings, but God's grace and incomprehensible love remain evident through it all.
The Collectors Edition of Christy features more than sixteen pages of never-before-published memorabilia from the Catherine Marshall estate, including original manuscript, character sketches, and journal notes. Readers will enjoy letters to and from Catherine, her editors, and fans. Photographs connected to the Christy story also are printed for the first time.
When Christy Huddleston leaves a life of privilege and ease to teach in the impoverished Smokey Mountains, her faith is severely tested by her pupils, the love of two men, and the curious customs of the mountain people in her community. Yet she grows to love these people and the simple, fulfilling lifestyle to be found in the heart of God's country. First released in 1967, Christy is based on the life of author Catherine Marshall's mother and was the inspiration for the recent television series of the same name. Beautifully told, this is a charming, timeless tale of love and faith that will appeal to romance readers of all ages. --Maudeen Wachsmith
