The mountain girl

What an enjoyable story! A young Englishman, ill and disillusioned with the society that produced him, goes to the North Carolina mountains to find health again. He finds a great deal more...work, friends, restored faith, and a wonderful young woman who steals his previously untouched heart.
There were some implied faults of theology and a leaning toward pacifism on the part of the author, but other than that I have no complaints.
The storyline is very good, as David Thryng learns the lessons of true manhood and must make a final great decision. And the ending is very well written. Not many books have a perfectly paced last chapter.
I read the Project Gutenburg ebook, which has beautiful illustrations included. It was pretty well done, with only a few strange line gaps and misplaced apostrophes.
