George MacDonald’s final full-length, realistic Scottish novel, replete with dense native dialect and spiritual themes. The repentance (through “fire”) of a young minister, recognizing the sham of his outward spirituality, is reminiscent of Thomas Wingfold’s spiritual journey, and thus establishes Salted With Fire as a work of lasting importance in the MacDonald corpus.
