The Rosemary Tree: Live Book Chat
Video summary for April 2024
“(Miss Giles) stood by the window, looking at the day with astonished recognition, as though she had not seen an English spring for twenty years. John thought that possibly she hadn’t. Beauty awakened such intolerable longing that people often shut their eyes to it, unaware that the longing was the greatest treasure that they had, their very lifeline, uniting the country of their lost innocence with the heavenly country for which their sails were set. He dared not move or speak while she took hold of her lifeline again.”
Elizabeth Goudge, The Rosemary Tree, ch 15
Welcome to our recorded book chat for The Rosemary Tree by Elizabeth Goudge!
We had a wonderfully full and far ranging discussion today, with readers from all the corners of the US and also from Australia! (Thanks Catherine for getting up at 5 am!)
Below is the 26 minute video summary of our discussion, and also some written notes if you would rather read about it instead of watching and listening. But either way, I hope you will join in the comments and tell us how you feel about the end of The Rosemary Tree!
