About This Book

A collected volume brings together a rural novel and a range of moral and reflective prose. The novel follows a hardworking labourer beset by poverty, temptation, family strain, and legal peril, unfolding episodes of loss, accusation, and the search for restitution and contentment. Accompanying pieces include essays of proverbial philosophy and personal meditations on the mind, heart, and the role of chance, all presented in a plain, didactic vein. Recurring concerns are social inequality, domestic duty, conscience, and the tension between material desire and moral steadiness.
