About this book
A physician's confidence in observable facts meets an experience he can scarcely explain. Esmerald Thorne presents his account as a duty, looking back on the professional habits and family inheritance that shaped his understanding of life. His opening memories include a walking holiday in a mountain village, a fall beside a brook and the arrival of a woman whose voice immediately matters to him.
Elizabeth Stuart Phelps connects that personal history with questions of faith, affection and responsibility in this novel about life beyond death. Later, Thorne moves unseen through a frantic stock auction and weighs the desire for money against his love for wife and child. His distress brings the cost of his earlier ambitions into focus. Readers interested in spiritual fiction will find a searching account of how a man reconsiders the values he carried through life.
