Excerpt from The Making of a Man: A Novel
Industry of the place. The Stourton Granite Company made pretty constant calls upon him, and gave him enough work, of a rough-and-ready character, to keep his surgical hand in. For the quarries were prolific in accidents: hardly a week passed by without a damaged limb or worse, from falling stone or runaway truck or slippery foothold. Stourton was all scarred and seamed with quarries, dotted with mounds of rubbish, poisoned with flying clouds of dust and smoke, deafened by the grinding clatter of machinery. It was not, for its own sake, an ideal place to live in; and possibly this was one reason why its doctors were so ready to exchange into another practice. Other reasons might have been found in the fact that the quarrymen belonged to a club, and displayed a natural inclination to get something mare than their money's worth out of their medical attendant; and also in the fact that the neighbourhood was not particularly rich in possible patients of the best class.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of Sargent Henderson, a young and enigmatic doctor who arrives in the sleepy village of Stourton, Leicestershire, to fill in for the local physician who is on extended leave. The author masterfully blends the quiet, rural backdrop of Victorian England with the complexities of human relationships, exploring themes of love, desire, and moral ambiguity. As Henderson's presence disrupts the village's staid routine, he becomes a catalyst for change, particularly in the life of Evelyn Sugden, the rector's daughter, whose sheltered existence is shaken by his arrival. The narrative is imbued with rich descriptions of the period's social customs, contrasting the worldliness of the traveling doctor with the innocence of village life. Through these characters and their interactions, the author delves into the nature of human connection, exploring the power of desire and the subtle shifts in a seemingly simple world that occur when an outsider arrives. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
