George MacDonald 
Far Above Rubies 

'Far Above Rubies’ by George Mac Donald was the writer’s final novella. Written as a sort of autobiography of sorts, the book reveals Mac Donald’s weariness and lack of energy to put into his craft of writing. Following Hector and Annie, a young couple that falls in love despite being from two different places in society, they are drawn to each other when they recognize the good heart and kind soul in each other.
