by PETER EVERETT
MOSTYN: We are a murdering and rapine species; never more so than at this time when railways begin to span empires and vast maritime endeavours encircle our globe. And you scavenge at the edge of this madness in men, which destroys whole forests for newspapers; which fills our streams with filth from industries; the madness that ordains whole herds of elephants shall die for trinkets, and that all God's creatures must suffer to create wealth ...
The new vicar in a remote country parish fights his shipwrecking parishioners and encroaching madness in this darkly powerful study set in the 19th century.
