About this book
Picking up the story begun in The School for Saints, this novel follows Robert Orange, a gifted young man of Catholic conviction making his way through the drawing rooms and political circles of late Victorian England. Ambition pulls him one way and love another, and his deepening faith complicates both. John Oliver Hobbes, the pen name of Pearl Craigie, writes with the wit and polished epigram that made her a favourite of the 1890s, though beneath the sparkle runs a serious study of conscience, sacrifice, and the cost of doing what one believes right. Readers meet a memorable cast drawn from fashionable and clerical society alike. First published in 1900, it is free to read in PDF and EPUB.
