The Rosary
I very much enjoyed this quaint little turn-of-the-century love story. It's a bit long on melodrama, but the characters are so lovely that I forgive them.
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
The Rosary is one of those wonderful but unfortunately completely overlooked books. It deserves to rank as high as books by Jane Austen, L.M. Alcott, Charlotte Bronte and L.M. Montgomery, yet few people have ever heard of it. Such a shame because it is one of the most beautiful and romantic books I've ever read. Florence L. Barclay paints very vivid pictures for her readers and makes the book impossible to put down. I cannot recommend it highly enough.Unfortunately it's very difficult to find
A quite old-fashioned romance, but well-written. Some of the characters are rather stock in nature, but nonetheless well drawn. It's true that the story is full of sentiment and religion, but the religion is genuine and the so is the sentiment.I quite enjoyed it.
Melodramatic suffering, sighing and professions of love at their height, which in any other book would induce episodes of gagging and eye rolling in this reader, but which, for some reason, induced feelings of protective loyalty instead. I was convinced that though the dialogue exchanged would be permitted only at the opera today, it was befitting the characters written, whose intense, artistic passions were meant to be felt with intense, dramatic phrases.Of course pure, old fashioned morals,
Teresa Scotton Williams (5/5):"The Rosary" is an exquisitely timeless story of Jane Champion,beauteous of soul and voice but enclosed in a plain though intensely feminine body. When the star singer has an illness, Jane is called upon to sing "The Rosary" which she does with amazing sweetness, power and beauty. Garth Dalmain, extremely handsome and artistically gifted in his own right, found that the veil is lifted to reveal his perfect soul mate. Believing that his love would not stand the test

"The Rosary" is a beautiful love story. Gareth Dalmain falls in love with the Honorable Jane Champion. 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.Declare Regarding Books The Rosary
