Please don't let my wife read this book - I would never hear the end of it. The reader should remember that David Langston, Porter's Harvester, was, after all, only a fictional character. He never really existed. Having said that, I was mesmerized by the sweep, intensity and energy of this book. I don't think I've ever read a more moving love story, albeit one-sided. Porter's premise, her style, her profuse imagery were unique. At times, the narrative and commentary were slow-paced (I keptI love the Harvester's steadfast character and ache for his loneliness. Will the Girl ever be his?
I have found my new favorite novel! My dad has been trying to get me to read this for years, and I cant believe Ive waited this long. Loved every minute of it. I usually prefer a book with more of a tragedy, this one doesnt quite fit that description, but is a beautifully drawn out love story. I will definitely read more from this author. Posting the link to Dads review of the book, it is beautifully written:Read Craig's 5-star review of The Harvester by Gene Stratton-Porter
This is a beautiful book. I savored every bit. It has a lot of sweet romance but also shows good virtues in the characters. It is a story of man searching for his love and doing everything and anything to win her love and give her happiness. It tells that true love is not a feeling, but an action and a choice that never dies and endures much. It is so dreamy and a must-read for every romancer out there.
David Langston, known as "the Harvester" or the "Medicine Man" to people in the town, lives out in the forest and harvest plants and herbs that are used to make medicines for doctors to give their patients. One morning, he decides it is finally time to find a wife. After having a dream about the girl he should marry, without even meeting her, he builds a beautiful home to bring her to. Then, one day, he sees her in real life, and has to search for her. And once he finds her, he needs to court
I adore this Limberlost book. It is different from the other two Limberlost books in many ways but it's so very ethereal and beautiful. Where was this book when I was 14 years old? I needed this book back then. I'll tell you where it was-- probably out of print! I read the GSP books that I could get my hands on when I was that age and I never came across this one. Thank goodness for this electronic age that we live in that is bringing these old gems back to life!
