Explanation To Books Pilgrim's Inn (The Eliots of Damerosehay #2)
After WW II, Lucilla Eliot's soldier son George and his beautiful wife Nadine lived with their five children. They acquired an ancient pilgrim's inn on the river, that touches not only its new owners but also those strangers who stop there for a rest on their pilgrimages.Sally Adair had never seen this face before, but as she studied the unfinished portrait of David Eliot, her untried heart knew the meaning of love. She would always know this face... the finely shaped head, the obstinate jaw, the hint of bitterness about the mouth. But David was tied, tied to a married woman who could not let him go.
This is an unforgettable story, one that will hold you spellbound as you enter the portals of Pilgrim's Inn...

Pilgrim's Inn, I feel, is in that category. It is the first, and thus far the only, of Elizabeth Goudge's writings that I have read and I did worry that I may have spoilt this series by unwittingly jumping in with the second novel. However, her poetic descriptions of place, time and sentiment transcend the story itself. I anticipate visiting this book again, and again, if only to lose myself in its
Wonderful book. One of my favorites.
Great book! Wish that I had read the trilogy in order! Begin with "The Bird in the Tree" for a complete picture.
Thanks to Goodreads and Facebook, Ive connected with other readers of all ages and from all over the world. And through these connections, Ive learned of books and authors I would probably never have heard of otherwise. Elizabeth Goudge is one such author.I belong to several book clubs on FB; a year ago, one of these book club friends mentioned Pilgrims Inn, saying that she tries to read it every Christmas. Instead of acquiring Pilgrims Inn then, I ordered The Deans Watch which became my first
Extraordinary fiction. If you haven't read Goudge yet, you need to start with this trilogy. No fluffy romance here. Real people with real problems and no simple solutions. Yet the outcome is satisfying.
I was excited to find a beautiful hardcover edition of this book at a used book store. When I first started reading it, I was mesmerized and expected it to be a five-star read for me. But while I never lost interest, I did at one point think there had to be more to the story than what I was reading, and I then discovered that this was book two of a trilogy. My mistake! Not that the book didn't stand up on its own. But I am looking forward to reading the first book of the series, The Bird in the
