A review by elizakp
Christy by Catherine Marshall

5.0

this book was so fun to read, i didn't think i would like it as much as i did when i first read it years ago, but i totally did. really makes you want to go live in a remote part of the smokies. apart from all the parts where it doesn't. such as the typhoid plot. as cringe as it may be to say, i now have a new appreciation for the experience of going though a disease outbreak. my only critique is that david absolute is such a flop. dr macneill is a top tier love interest though, so that makes up for it. despite all of the quaker theology (and there's a lot of it) this book is still a compelling, yet breezy, read.

also, i just gotta say. absolutely iconic of miss catherine marshall to write fanfic about her own parents. except, the love interest that resembles her father is the flop of the love triangle, which is quite hilarious.
