George MacDonald
A novel written during the late 19th century. The narrative unfolds in a pastoral setting, focusing on themes of faith, family, and nature as the protagonist, Henry Walton, interacts with his wife Ethelwyn and their daughters, while also addressing the spiritual needs of the community. The opening of Volume 3 introduces a serene autumn evening where Henry and Ethelwyn take a reflective walk along the shore. Their conversation touches upon profound themes like the nature of existence, faith, and the deep connections they share. As they enjoy the quiet beauty of the moonlit sea, they discuss the challenges faced in understanding both the natural world and their own inner lives. The couple grapples with their concerns about their daughters' futures and relationships, particularly focusing on Wynnie's growing interest in the artist Mr. Percivale. This initial chapter sets the tone for the exploration of significant moral and philosophical questions, along with the intimate dynamics of family life against a backdrop of nature's beauty, providing an inviting glimpse into the larger narrative unfolding throughout the volume.
