Overview

The novel begins "The world considered Eugene Lane a very fortunate young man; and if youth, health, social reputation, a seat in Parliament, a large income, and finally the promised hand of an acknowledged beauty can make a man happy, the world was right.” In this book, a young Anglican priest, torn between love and faith, must reconcile the urgings of body and soul.
