The Rosary is a novel by Florence L. Barclay. It was first published in 1909 by G.P. Putnam's Sons and was a bestselling novel for many years running, reaching the number one spot in 1910. She was born Florence Louisa Charlesworth in Limpsfield, Surrey, England, the daughter of the local Anglican rector. One of three girls, she was a sister to Maud Ballington Booth, the Salvation Army leader and co-founder of the Volunteers of America. When Florence was seven years old, the family moved to Limehouse in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. In 1881, Florence Charlesworth married the Rev. Charles W. Barclay and honeymooned in the Holy Land, where, in Shechem, they reportedly discovered Jacob's Well, the place where, according to the Gospel of St John, Jesus met the woman of Samaria (John 4-5). Florence Barclay and her husband settled in Hertford Heath, in Hertfordshire, where she fulfilled the duties of a rector's wife. She became the mother of eight children. In her early forties health problems left her bedridden for a time and she passed the hours by writing what became her first romance novel titled The Wheels of Time. Her next novel, The Rosary, a story of undying love, was published in 1909 and its success eventually resulted in its being translated into eight languages and made into five motion pictures, also in several languages. According to the New York Times, the novel was the No.1 bestselling novel of 1910 in the United States. The enduring popularity of the book was such that more than twenty-five years later, Sunday Circle magazine serialized the story and in 1926 the prominent French playwright Alexandre Bisson adapted the book as a three-act play for the Parisian stage. Florence Barclay wrote eleven books in all, including a work of non-fiction. Her novel The Mistress of Shenstone (1910) was made into a silent film of the same title in 1921. Her short story Under the Mulberry Tree appeared in the special issue called "The Spring Romance Number" of the Ladies Home Journal of 11 May 1911.

A Timeless Romance
By Fafa Demasio
Written in 1910, THE ROSARY still proves to be a very successful story in the year 2003. By today's standards, it may be described as quaint but still very enjoyable. The writing is lyrical, descriptive, and charming; the love storyline is ageless.
The story revolves around Jane Champion and Garth Dalmain. Jane is talented, smart, good-natured and independent. However she is a unique heroine because unlike the female protagonists in many romance stories, Jane is described as homely-looking. She is also older than the hero, Garth - a vibrant, energetic, gifted, and extraordinarily handsome man.
The title refers to a popular song written in 1898 by composers Ethelbert Nevin and Robert Cameron Rogers. Garth realizes that he is in love with Jane after hearing her sing the song at a public performance. When he declares his love to Jane and wants to marry her, she turns him down, although she also loves him; Jane doesn't believe that Garth will be truly happy living with a plain-looking woman for the rest of his life. Broken-hearted, the two part ways but reunite, later, under sad and unexpected circumstances.
How do Jane and Garth finally accept each other? Writer Florence Barclay writes a story that makes you want to keep reading till you find out how the lovers reunite.
I first heard about THE ROSARY, a few years ago, on a T.V. program that reported a true story of a woman who always mentioned the book. A relative of hers decided to search for the then out-of-print book and give it to her as a surprise gift. Through what could only be described as a miracle, the relative eventually found the book. Fascinated with the story of the woman's attachment to the book, I decided to look for it. I couldn't find the book anywhere. Years later, I happened to mentioned THE ROSARY to a friend. Guess where she found it? On Amazon.com! I think it's great that anyone can find the book (and many other things) here!
If you like stories like Jane Eyre, Pride and Prejudice, Persuasion, and Sense and Sensibility, you'll enjoy this tale. Reading THE ROSARY is like taking a breath of fresh air.

THE ROSARY AND OTHER BARCLAY BOOKS
By Barbara Crim
This is not a review of THE ROSARY, but I have some knowledge of Florence Barclay and a list of more of her books. As a result of reading THE ROSARY in the mid 80's, I became a devoted Florence Barcly fan and have traveled to England several times, two of which I searched out some of her childhood haunts, and also homes that she owned when she was older.
Florence Barclay was born December 2, l862, in a little Surrey village in England. Her father, the Reverend Samuel Charlesworth, was Rector of the Anglican Perish there. When Florence was l8 years old, she married The Reverend Charles Barclay and took on all the responsiblities of a Rector's wife, including teaching a Bible class of l00 men, and playing the organ for services in the church, where she and her husband remained for 40 years. She bore and raised 8 children.
In her biography, she is said to have had a "firm faith in God, and in man's possibilities, which tended to bring out the best in others, the most joyous, the most true. It was precisely all this--her personality in short--which broke forth in her books and won for her a vast reading public that looked upon her as a friend."
THE ROSARY sold one million copies, and was translated into 8 languages. This was a remarkable number of books to sell in a day before high tech methods of marketing were developed. Florence Barclay died on March l0, l921, on her fortieth wedding anniversary.
Her books include:
THE ROSARY
THE MISTRESS OF SHENSTONE
THE BROKEN HALO
THROUGH THE POSTERN GATE
THE FOLLOWING OF THE STAR
THE WALL OF PARTITION
THE UPAS TREE
THE WHITE LADIES OF WORCHESTER
RETURNED EMPTY
SHORTER WORKS
THE LIFE OF FLORENCE BARCLAY written by ONE OF HER DAUGHTERS

Another Jane Eyre
By Julianne Stone
Yes, the heroine is named Jane, she is plain, sensible, and very bright, though this one is exceedingly musical (Bronte's Jane was not). The hero is Garth, gorgeous, bright (perhaps not as mature as Jane and a bit more self-centered), and highly interested in the heroine, especially after she sings. Such begins the verbal tug-of-war brimming with wit and sexual tension.
Both have feelings for the other though Jane's homeliness is the obstacle that prevents immediate union. Garth, however, meets with an unfortunate accident which renders him, low and behold, blind. Convenient, eh? Garth's pride replaces Jane's looks as the romantic obstruction. What ensues is a heart-squeezing chain of events which have the reader rooting for the match like a ridiculous cheerleader.
While profoundly romantic, don't expect an x-rated sex scene. Afterall, the romance is that which preceeds the sex.
