About this audiobook
When a long-serving clergyman dies, his daughters find themselves facing a precarious future without a home or income. The arrival of a new curate brings both hope and social friction to the small parish community. This narrative explores the vulnerabilities of women in the Victorian era and the rigid structures of the church hierarchy. It is a poignant look at duty, sacrifice, and the search for independence in a changing world.
