More about the book

The story follows Vicar Charles Henstock as he relocates to Lulling after losing his home in a fire. Adjusting to a new parish proves challenging, particularly as he faces strong-willed women and a contentious debate over kneeling cushions for the Lady Chapel. The narrative also explores the dynamics involving the cantankerous sexton, Albert Piggott, adding layers of humor and conflict to the community's interactions. Through these events, Miss Read delves into the complexities of village life and the resilience of its inhabitants.
