Green Dolphin Country (Capuchin Classics) ReviewBefore reading Green Dolphin Street I had seen the film as a teenager. At that age what primarily interested me was the spectacular earthquake sequence and the tidal wave. Although the movie version followed quite well the novel, as is usually the case, the novel was unequivocally better than the movie. It tells an old-fashioned tale, set in the mid-nineteenth century, of unrequited love, mistaken identity and spiritual redemption.One could even argue that there is the element of women's liberation in the character of Marianne who envies the freedom and self-determination males have and seeks to achieve her own by moulding the character of the man she marries. By way of contrast her sister Marguerite never marries the man she loves because of a cruel twist of fate and eventually becomes a nun believing that this vocation is what has been ordained for her since the beginning of time. If you are a cynic or one who considers predictability a literary demerit, you will probably not get farther than 50 of the 500 plus pages of this book. But if you are not too jaded by modern fiction replete with gratuitous sex and violence, go along with Elizabeth Goudge and Marianne who leave their home in the Channel Islands on a precipitous voyage to New Zealand where they find adventure and a good life.
Green Dolphin Country (Capuchin Classics) OverviewFirst published in 1944, 'Green Dolphin Country' is a magnificent epic of love, courage and selfless devotion, set in the Channel Islands and New Zealand in the nineteenth century, written with Elizabeth Goudge's inimitable feeling for the intricacies of human emotions. Though the book is fiction, and the characters not portraits, it is based on fact. A stunning tale of loss and self-sacrifice, it is truly one of the most memorable love stories of the last century.
