About this audiobook
Septimus Harding, a gentle and kind-hearted clergyman, becomes the unwitting target of a public crusade against church corruption. As the warden of an almshouse, he is accused of receiving an excessive income at the expense of the elderly residents he cares for. The resulting scandal, fueled by the press, forces him to choose between his legal rights and his moral conscience. This intimate story highlights the collision between institutional reform and individual integrity, questioning whether justice can exist without compassion.
