About this book
In a nineteenth-century English cathedral city, an imposing dean and an elderly clockmaker form an unexpected friendship. Adam Ayscough's stern reputation conceals painful shyness, while Isaac Peabody's skill and independence conceal wounds that have estranged him from religion. As their lives become entwined, each begins to reconsider what the other understands about goodness, loneliness, and love. Around them, ordinary townspeople carry private disappointments and hopes. Goudge brings a distinctly Christian imagination to this richly atmospheric novel, but its spiritual questions emerge through relationships rather than instruction. Compassion, craftsmanship, and small acts of courage give the story its consoling warmth. ([hachette.co.uk](https://www.hachette.co.uk/titles/elizabeth-goudge/the-deans-watch/9781473656345/))
