Review: THE SCENT OF WATER

If you are a writer then you've heard about painterly writers. Elizabeth Goudge depicts the English countryside with prose dripping with color, engaging the mind with a sense of wonder in the beauty of nature. Above all this is a novel of love in its final finest essence. It's about finding one's self and giving to others with wisdom healing and happiness. The Scent of Water goes on my shelf of books to be read again. A note on Nature: The robins arrived. There are bear prints in the orchard. My hair is falling out.
