About this book
Above the river and the ocean, Grey Town's churches, newspaper office, and busy households form a small Australian community with plenty to say about its neighbours. Gerald R. Baldwin introduces the town through Father Healy, a practical Catholic priest whose friendships with other local ministers bring warmth and humour to parish life. Alongside him are his quick-witted sister Molly, the presbytery's quarrelling but loyal servants, and Ebenezer Brown, whose appetite for money has brought the local newspaper under his control.
The story moves from domestic banter and civic rivalries into the more troubling business of reputation. A letter about Denis Quirk alarms Father Healy and Dr. Marsh, who believe its accusation is false. Their concern exposes how readily a close community can credit a damaging rumour.
