The Rabbit Room

Thank you both – it has been a delight to listen in on this conversation.

A special thank you, Sarah, for bringing “The Herb of Grace” back to me in such a lovely way. I have very yellowed paperbacks of the three volumes which I first read over thirty years ago. I thought them quietly exquisite then, and though I’ve met others along the way, who have enjoyed some of Goudge’s other novels, these podcasts make you you the first person with whom I have ever ‘shared a conversation’ about “The Herb of Grace” trilogy!

SO good to hear you both after reading your blogs and ordering books!
I agree wholeheartedly. You make me want to reread Goudge, finish Brideshead
Revisited ( from years ago), and The Mutual Friend.
My evening with you tonight has been what Shakespeare wrote in Hamlet:
So hallowed and so gracious is the time.

I must have missed this when it first came out, but listening now to the end, I think that _Pilgrim’s Inn_ actually is pretty explicitly Christian. The only reason it’s not on the shelf is that Goudge’s work is generally OOP. But I can’t think of any reason why a Christian bookstore would consider it not qualified as “Christian” fiction.
