In lush and vivid detail, this beautifully
written novel evokes an England and an
age in which old traditions were being
challenged by new ideas. Set in the
hauntingly beautiful nineteenth-century
Dorset countryside, this moving story of
love--and of the suffering that love
sometimes brings--weaves together the
lives of four young people, all in their
own ways rebelling against the rigid
conventions and hypocrisy of the era:
Richard Webster, a handsome clergy-
man bent on reform; Laura Delaford,
the beautiful but naive young woman
whom he marries; Samuel Delaford,
Laura s unprincipled younger brother;
and Rachel Cooper, the innocent but
sensuous farm milkmaid in love with
Samuel. Their struggles bring these four
together in often unexpected and always
unforgettable ways.
