Critique Based On Books Head of the House
As is often the case with Grace Livingston Hill, although the cover and even the cover blurb make it sound like a romance, in actual fact the hero shows up in maybe three chapters, and it's much more a story about a girl's relationship with her family. Not that this bothered me, I've just always found it interesting that GLH books are invariably presented as romances, when a fair percentage of them have very little romance in the actual plot.As with most of GLH's books that lack much romance, I

This is one of my favorite books by Grace Livingston Hill, as it was the very first book I read of hers when I was about ten years old. At the age of ten, my favorite thing about the book was that the main character's name was Jennifer. I've read it probably about a dozen times since then, and now I have come to appreciate the excellent writing and GLH's practice of inserting the Gospel into her novels.

My absolute favorite of all of Gracies books! Jennifer Graeme is the oldest of seven children. Just shy of her turning of age, the family is informed that both parents have perished in a plane crash. The day after the funeral, Jennifer overhears her family (aunts and uncles) plotting to separate the children and divide up the family goods. After the family leaves, with quick work she dispenses with the servants and packs her siblings up and heads out of town. The plan is to stay away until she

When Jennifer's parents die and she hears the relatives are wanting to separate her from her siblings and split up the rest, she takes quick action to spirit away the entire family, in a desperate attempt to keep the family together. Told with compassion, with many adventures, I love the entire Graeme family and their resilience. How they come together as a family, and find God in the process is a beautiful tale, that maybe is a little convenient at time, but still was very pleasurable to read.

Grace Livingston Hill is the queen of Christian fiction! I have read nearly 25 of her books at least over the course of my life. She always has such a sweet, pleasant and exciting offering and this was no exception! The story was so sweet and the romance so pure and almost non existent (which is how I like it) that it was just a sweet clean read! This one was the story of Jennifer Graeme and her family as they did there best to escape the clutches of their manipulating relatives, stay together

Always loved this one.

In "Head of the House," Grace Livingston Hill showcases one of her trademarks -- the ability to follow the trials and adventures of a family, while making the reader feel that they're part of the group. The story opens just after the sudden death of a man and woman, who leave behind seven children! The oldest, Jennifer, soon discovers that their overbearing aunts and uncles are plotting to separate the children, farm the youngest ones off to boarding schools, and marry Jennifer to an
