About This Book

A young doctor becomes entangled with a family led by a controversial lecturer whose household copes with debt, public meetings, and frequent legal and social assaults. Romantic attachment develops alongside friendships and rivalries, while arguments over faith, toleration, and public opinion drive confrontations that include slander, courtroom disputes, and interruptions of meetings. Illness, travel abroad, moments of quiet domestic care, and episodes of work and sacrifice punctuate the narrative, leading to altered relationships and a tentative renewal of hope as characters respond to adversity, reassess loyalties, and seek reconciliation.
