O Love How Deep by Diana Maryon

O Love How Deep by Diana Maryon

The autobiographical novel O Love How Deep by Diana Maryon contains striking insights into relations between the sexes, Christian spirituality, and mastering disappointment. I hope that I shall see it in print in some form in due course. J.I. Packer, Author and Theologian

I knew from the first 100 pages that I was going to be enthralled with this story, and so I was, right to the end. I literally couldn't put it down. Of course, it doesn't seem like the end because I still want to know more about Hope.

The loving portraits of the author s two children were the highlight for me. Why that is so, I don't know. Perhaps the honesty about motherhood.

It is a fine adult-Christian book and should enjoy a wide readership. Mary Razzell, Author

After twenty-six-year-old Australian David Carpenter, a psychiatrist and neurological researcher himself, had a breakdown in his first year at Cambridge, his therapist told him, Go into the Anglican Chaplaincy, investigate Christianity, and have a love-affair with a nice Christian girl. He did precisely that.

Diana was only twenty. They grew so close that when, after four years, she married someone else, he returned home devastated. They did not meet again for eight years. He realised then that he still loved her, and she him. He asked her to break her marriage for him. Instead, she sent him away indefinitely.

In her last letter she begged him to give her up. She said that Oxford had rejected her dissertation. She was thirty-three, with her academic career now shattered.

This is the poignant true story of three hyper-intelligent, cosmopolitan, and highly-educated people fighting their way through to genuine faith, hope and love in the modern world.

Maryon, Diana: - BORN ON ST. VALENTINE'S DAY in 1938 near Cambridge, England, she has lived in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada since 1971. She holds four Oxbridge degrees. As of late 2017 she has been a convinced Christian for 59 years. She has two moderately grown-up children, and two young grandchildren. Her husband, whom she married in 1962, a distinguished Medievalist and Modern Linguist, suffered from Parkinson's for about 12 years, and died at the end of September 2013. Her story is about love, the love and goodness of God and the mutual love of three highly-intelligent, highly-educated people seeking to serve Him in this complicated modern world. It is the story of a real marriage, including many assaults on it, and at the same time the story of a marriage which did not take place. As she looks back, she sees herself as having been surrounded by love all her life.
