About this book
In postwar Devon, the Wentworth family's vicarage contains more unhappiness than its peaceful surroundings suggest. John, the local vicar, struggles with his shortcomings; his wife Daphne feels confined; and their daughters face troubles at school. When a man recently released from prison arrives with connections to Daphne's past, familiar relationships become newly unsettled. Goudge brings gardens, domestic life, and an elderly nanny's quiet understanding into a story of shame, compassion, and forgiveness. This is a gently paced, richly descriptive novel whose Christian spirituality lives in the difficult work of loving imperfect people. (hendricksonpublishers.blog)
