Synopsis

In Phemie Keller, a journey through the Cumberland hills reveals longing, memory, and a fragile heart. A wanderer named Captain Stondon contemplates life, death, and the pull of home as he watches a remote valley come alive with mountains, a churchyard, and a valley that seems to hold every answer he seeks.

The scene shifts between rugged landscapes and intimate concerns, weaving a quiet drama of love, duty, and the unsettled future. As new guests arrive at the Hill Farm, a delicate web of attraction and obligation begins to form, set against the timeless backdrop of hills, streams, and rural life.


  • Vivid landscapes: moody mountains, cascading waterfalls, and a graveyard that frames a traveler’s inner questions.

  • Interpersonal tension: arrival of a potential partner and the shifting loyalties within a family and community.

  • Character study: a man who roams the world, then confronts how attachment and obligation shape choices.

  • Atmospheric mood: quiet, contemplative moments that blend nature, faith, and the prospect of endings.



Ideal for readers who enjoy classical works with a lyrical sense of place, careful character drama, and the pull of the outdoors as a mirror to the heart.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Mark Twain once famously said "there was but one solitary thing about the past worth remembering, and that was the fact that it is past and can't be restored."  Well, over recent years, The British Library, working with Microsoft has embarked on an ambitious programme to digitise its collection of 19th century books.

There are now 65,000  titles available  (that's an incredible 25 million pages) of material ranging from works by famous names such as  Dickens, Trollope and Hardy as well as many forgotten literary gems , all of which can now be printed on demand and purchased right here on Amazon.

Further information on The British Library and its digitisation programme can be found on The British Library website.
