Home Again
About this book
A son's spiritual journey reunites him with his father in this novel of redemption from the 19th-century Scottish author of The Elect Lady.
One of MacDonald's smaller novels in length, and neither so ambitious of scope or depth, Home Again from 1887 is loosely based on the prodigal son parable. It is the oft-told tale of an ambitious young man who thinks too highly of himself, falls under the spell of a duplicitous young woman, and must find his way "home." Though less complex than MacDonald's lengthier novels, everything he wrote radiated light. Even in its simplicity, this story of a young poet and his return to his father and his roots has many touching moments, with MacDonald's wisdom woven throughout the characters and relationships.Frequently asked questions
