Lilith is a story concerning the nature of life, death, and salvation.

It is the story of Mr. Vane, an orphan and heir to a large house - a house in which he has a vision that leads him through a large old mirror into another world. After he followed the old man through the mirror, nothing in his life was ever right again.

It was a special mirror and the man he followed was a special man - a man who led him to the things that underlie the fate of all creation.

In chronicling the five trips Mr. Vane makes to this other world, MacDonald hauntingly explores the ultimate mystery of evil.

Lilith is considered among the darkest of MacDonald’s works, and among the most profound. It is a story concerning the nature of life, death, and salvation. In the story, MacDonald mentions a cosmic sleep that heals tortured souls, preceding the salvation of all.

Reader comments…“Rebecca K. Reynolds is perhaps the most masterful storyteller I have ever heard narrate an audio book. Despite the protagonist being a male (Mr. Vane), Reynolds expertly portrays his male voice without strain. Her interpretation of Lona, Lilith’s daughter, is noticeably sad. And her characterizations of the Little Ones, Her child voices are adorable. Lilith is full of imagery and metaphor. If you, like me, picked this book up and set it down more than once because you didn’t have it in you to struggle through, then I encourage you to listen to this version. The narrator clearly knows her material. As you conclude the book, you too will be able to say, “I get it!”
