Excerpt from The Curate in Charge
The parish of Brentburn lies in the very heart of the leafy county of Berks. It is curiously situated on the borders of the forest, which is rich as Arden on one side, and on the edge of a moorland coun try abounding in pines and heather on the other; so that in the course of a moderate walk the way farer can pass from leafy glades and luxuriant breadth of shadow, great wealthy oaks and beeches, and stately chestnuts such as clothe Italian hill sides, to the columned fir-trees of a Scotch wood, all aromatic with wild fragrant odours of the moor and peat-moss. On one hand, the eye and the imagination lose themselves in soft woods where Orlando might hang his verses, and heavenly Rosa lind flout her lover. On the other, knee-deep in rustling heather and prickly billows of the gorse, the spectator looks over dark undulations of pines, standing up in countless regiments, each line and rank marked against the sky, and an Ossianic breeze making wild music through them. At the corner, where these two landscapes, so strangely different.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book follows the lives of the St. John family, with a particular focus on the relationship between Mr. St. John and his two daughters. A quiet man whose life has been shaped by duty and routine, Mr. St. John's tranquil existence is upended by the arrival of his nieces following the death of his sister. The sudden addition of Cicely and Mab to the household upsets the equilibrium Mr. St. John has maintained for years. Their energy and independence unsettle him while simultaneously drawing him out of his shell. As he comes to know the lively sisters, he begins to realize that life holds more than he could have ever imagined. At the same time, the author explores larger themes of family, loss, and the transformative power of human connection. Thoughtful and insightful, this book beautifully captures the complexities of familial relationships and the ways in which they shape our lives.
