Title : The Pilgrim's Inn - Elizabeth Goudge - book

Summary :

This inn was an old house, quite large, with thick whitewashed walls and a battered, steeply pitched roof of amber-colored tiles. It resembled a sturdy fortress, welcoming and deeply alive, with a heavy oak door. Upon discovering it, none of the family members dared move: this house had bewitched them. It was too good to be true, like a vision that threatens to vanish at the slightest movement. In the Eliot family, it is Lucilla, the gentle grandmother, in reality with an iron fist, who leads her "clan" from her beautiful house deep in the English countryside. Worried about her favorite grandson, David, who has become a famous actor, and whom she knows is in love with his ravishing young aunt by marriage, she will do everything to find him the ideal wife. But will the shy Sally—one of Elizabeth Goudge's most endearing characters—be able to assert herself against the dazzling Nadine? However, it is in fact the very old inn that once welcomed pilgrims, and which her husband has just purchased, that will seduce Nadine—and us with her—and become the heart of this marvelous novel.
