A review by lanceschaubert
At the Back of the North Wind by George MacDonald
5.0
If I ever had any doubts that Lewis and Chesterton pull from MacDonald, this book eradicated them.
The North Wind, as we know, can be a terribly destructive force. But to get around back of her and see things from her perspective, to be spared the force of her fury long enough to see the grace of her gaze, to know the joy of riding her and the honor of her invitation to do so – these things make the suffering in this world sharable. And it is burden-sharing that makes life sweet.
