Synopsis

A club of idealists, fierce debates, and personal loyalties collide in this incisive social novel.

In a world where political ideals spark long discussions and moral questions, a group of pacifists and social reformers gathers to discuss faith, destiny, and the meaning of loyalty. The conversations weave together philosophy, religion, and the pull of family, as characters navigate doubt, hope, and the costs of conviction. The book explores how personal choices echo through friendships and futures.

With a cast that includes scholars, journalists, and quietly passionate idealists, the narrative focuses on what motivates people to commit to causes bigger than themselves. Across cultural lines and differing beliefs, the characters wrestle with power, responsibility, and the pull of human connection.

• Character-driven drama centered on ideas about socialism, faith, and personal destiny


• Rich dialogue that probes ethics, money, and the responsibilities of wealth


• A multi-generational mix of mentors, students, and devoted followers


• Atmospheric scenes that blend intellectual debate with intimate family moments

Ideal for readers who enjoy literary fiction with thoughtful debate, nuanced relationships, and a focus on how beliefs shape lives.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Frau Ursula, V- it was second nature with her, so that it was quite natural, she being what she was, and America being what America was, that, as soon as Europe was plunged head long into the gory abyss, she should have volunteered for Red Cross work. The A nasquoit Chapter of the Red Cross needed reorganizing, and Frau Ursula threw herself heart and soul into the work, with the result that very soon she was devoting virtually all of her time to her labor of love, She reserved barely sufficient time for her household duties, leaving for the Red Cross .W ork Rooms before ten in the morning and returning home after six in the evening. Guido, therefore, on approaching home one afternoon, was surprised to see his mother sitting at the window, apparently talking to someone who was invisible to Guido. His first thought was of Vasalov, and he let himself in noiselessly, fully resolved to abscond as silently as he had entered if the visitor in the parlor were indeed his kinsman. The visitor was not Vasalov, as Guido became aware the moment he had penetrated two steps into the hall. A very delicate, a very sweet, a very ingratiating perfume permeated the hall. Frau Ursula never used any perfume excepting heliotrope and so little of that that the fragrance never strayed far beyond her immediate proximity. Guido sniffed critically, suspiciously, deliciously. He thought of Frau Theaterdirektor, but Frau Ursula had snubbed that lady so noticeably on several occasions that on second thought Guido decided the visitor could not be she. He sniffed again. There was something intoxicating about this perfume. It steeped his senses in delight. It conjured pictures of carnival scenes of beautiful women in scant attire attended by eager-eyed men; of gracious blue skies, of lapping water, of the rhythmic chanting of songs.
