Far Above Rubies edition by George MacDonald Literature Fiction eBooks
Old fashioned? Yes! Mac Donald's view of marriage in our culture seems out-of- date. But there are TRUTHS about love and commitment that need to be relearned by many today. Hector and Annie are social unequals, but they fall in love and wed. As years go by, like all married couples, they face good times and bad. They learn that love is NOT a feeling but a commitment to stay together and work through difficulties. Each must put the other first. Each must lean on the other and learn to appreciate the qualities of the other mate. Some people might object to the Victorian view of the man as the primary "bread winner," but Annie is right there beside him, encouraging his work and using all of her skills and abilities to keep their family intact. In fact, she is probably presented by MacDonald as the stronger person of the two. The title refers to Proverbs chapter 31 which portrays the "excellent woman" whose price far exceeds rubies. The Bible says such a woman will do her husband good, not evil, all the days of her life.Product details

Far Above Rubies edition by George MacDonald Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
This a long short story, and an oft repeated theme of Macdonald's, of rags to riches to rags and back again. Another liet motif of his, is yhe wealthy partner and the low born partner finding a way to fall in love. His love stories tomsome are sappy, but to me they are pleasing because they hark to a simplerntime, with much virtue and little vice. This is one of his better outings, because of one of the book's features that is unique to this volume for Macdonald....that is that it is brief. Brevity has never been his strong suit. I enjoyed it thoroughly.
You have to enjoy fairy tales.
For some reason I enjoy more novels of George MacDonald than any other of his writings. This one deal with the life of a wealthy lad and a lass whose family had lost everything. She worked as a parlor maid in the home of the wealthy family and in time the lad and lass fell in love. His mother disapproved of the marriage, and yes they had many difficulties, but faith in God kept them going and supplied the basics. I recommend this book to anyone who loves to read a story in one sitting.
This short story seemed to start off very slowly. By the middle, it did not hold my attention, but I kept on until the end. I may reread it again later.
MacDonald's prose reminds me of Victoria Hugo's writing -- full of feeling and interjected with spiritual nuggets of truth. Even though only 50 pages, the book's characters were well developed and endearing. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys 19th century English or Scottish writing and certainly, any one who has read and enjoyed other books by George MacDonald.
I felt as if I were sitting beside the author himself and he were telling me this story about himself. I could not get lost in the story much because I kept thinking about the author. 8 scenes did catch and hold my attention.
This book seemed shortened and simplified, more so than even the Michael Philips version. I don't have the original to compare, but it did not have the depth I remembered.
