Synopsis

Deeply immersed in the historical and literary context of individual lives, this book explores the darker recesses of human nature, in particular those of a group of characters living in rural Sussex. The author delves into the influence of historical events upon character and circumstance through complex and flawed characters and the moral ambiguities they face. This book captures the essence of frailty, temptation, and moral erosion in a stark, tragic, and profoundly moving narrative. Ultimately, it is a powerful meditation on sin, forgiveness, and humanity's capacity for both good and evil.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

His success was the result of his perfect control of his temper. He was never known to lose it Even when the devout old Lady Mompesson slapped him on the cheek in a sudden rage with her large fan, he turned the other in compliance vrith the Scriptures; and he did it with such inexpressible mockery that the old lady, who had spent her life distributing tracts among her tenants, and exhorting them to love one another and return good for evil, felt as if her reputation for piety had been literally shattered at a blow. She seemed thoroughly ashamed of herself, and when Rewbell allowed his cold, searching eye to rest upon her an eye full of the sarcasm which only an eye can express he was visibly pleased at her embarrassment.
