About this audiobook
A highly educated, ambitious young minister arrives to lead a dissenting congregation, only to find himself suffocated by the petty demands and narrow minds of his flock. His spiritual ideals clash violently with the mundane realities of his butter-merchant deacons and their gossiping wives. The stifling social comedy abruptly shifts into dark melodrama when a mysterious woman and a shocking crime plunge him into mortal danger. Torn between his calling and a desperate bid to save his family, he is pushed to the absolute breaking point. It is an electrifying fusion of biting social satire and gripping thriller.
