Three stories that fit together like chapters in a life. Before Eliot became famous, she was watching country parsons and their wives, learning how ordinary people carry extraordinary burdens. These clerics aren't saints—they're men trying to do right while dealing with gossip, money troubles, and hearts that want what they shouldn't. The stories have the quiet authority of someone who's seen how religion and human nature rub against each other. For readers who appreciate that small-town drama can carry the weight of the world.
