Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book transports readers to historic Maryland, introducing Gilbert Elgar, a wealthy yet complacent Quaker farmer, and his strong-willed wife, Dorothea. Their idyllic life is shaken when their young daughter, Robin, inadvertently exposes Gilbert's growing apathy toward his farm, sparking a deeply personal crisis. As Gilbert grapples with his declining motivation and questions his legacy, he realizes the strain on his marriage and the potential loss of his beloved home, Airlie. Set against the backdrop of the evolving Quaker community, this book delves into themes of family, tradition, and the challenges of preserving one's heritage in a changing world. The author skillfully explores the tension between the old and the new, as characters wrestle with the allure of the outside world while attempting to maintain their cultural identity. Through its rich descriptions of rural life and poignant character study, this book offers a thought-provoking meditation on the complexities of human relationships and the enduring power of familial bonds.
