"Watkins," said the child presently to this person, "here is a strap that is just ready to come unbuckled." "What do you know about straps and buckles?" said the man rather grumly. But he came round however to see what she meant, and while he drew the one and fastened the other took special good care not to let Fleda know that her watchful eyes had probably saved the whole riding [...]".

A Story of Grace and Hope By Anna Before introducing you to Queechy, let me introduce you to its author, one of my absolute favorites, Susan Warner (pseudonym Elizabeth Wetherell). She was the sister of Anna Warner, who wrote the infamous hymn "Jesus Loves Me." That hymn originally appeared as a poem in one of Susan's books, eventually gaining worldwide fame. Susan's first novel, The Wide, Wide World, was published in 1850 and was one of the most popular early American novels. Queechy was Miss Warner's second novel, and one of her longest.Queechy is a deeply satisfying read, for one who is willing to absorb a long and detailed story instead of a whirlwind novel. It is the story of Fleda Ringaan, a young orphan who is faced with a string of joys and sorrows as she comes of age. It is a love story, but one that is much more subtly - and thus more richly - told than what we are used to today. The storytelling is intricate, full of deeply felt emotion, powerful imagery, and wry humor. Warner had an Austen-like insight into the quirks of human nature, and this often makes its way into the story as well. It is undeniably an example of "sentimental" literature, and it moves slowly and focuses on characters and dialogue rather than events.Christianity is the hallmark of the book. As one who enjoys reading contemporary Christian fiction and seeing how authors integrate faith with their storytelling, I find Warner's approach stirring, ennobling, and beautiful. Faith and religion are explicit, but not forced. They are such essential aspects of the story that they cannot help but make themselves plain. And they are moving, insightful, and built on Warner's excellent theology and tender love for the Lord.A surface reading of Queechy's heroine may lead one to believe she is only a precursor of the dubiously well-behaved Elsie Dinsmore (who is still dear to my heart in spite of her perfections). But a deeper understanding of the text reveals a heroine who is flawed, and who is resting on grace alone for her forgiveness. The purity of remaining "unspotted from the world," which is mentioned so often in the book, is not sinlessness, but innocence of knowledge and intention about the morally bankrupt ways of culture. This is the spotlessness which Fleda's friends desire for her.A certain sense of class superiority also pervades the story. Without an understanding of nineteenth-century culture, a modern reader may be confused or put off by this. Yet taking into account the feelings and ideas of the day, in both English and American culture, the Christian characters in the novel make significant efforts toward understanding how they fit into society and how they can interact with those who are not their equals in station, intelligence, or education. Some of their ideas are outdated now, but if understood properly, they do not detract from the story's strength.Yet another aspect that may concern modern readers is the serious nature of the novel. I can imagine it being labeled melodramatic and melancholy. Ironically, this serious tone is mentioned many times in the story itself - the contrast between the ways of the lighthearted, cheerful world, and the very sobering and serious life that Fleda is living. There are so many lessons to be learned from Queechy about what joy really looks like.This novel is full of passages that I want to frame on my wall. It is full of Christ's beauty and goodness, full of the knowledge that He is everything and the world and all its pleasures are passing away, full of the knowledge that life is only brightened by the wonder of His love, and that suffering is worthwhile when one is doing what is right. Rather than investing your time in reading yet another Jane Austen novel, try picking up Queechy, and immersing yourself in the timelessness of a story of grace and hope.
