About this book
On a stormy stretch of the Scottish coast, John Henderson keeps watch beside his dying uncle and finds himself anticipating freedom. Seven years of harsh service have followed a childhood marked by poverty and a family dispute over property. His hope of reclaiming what his father lost gives the opening of Katherine Cecil Thurston's novel a tense mixture of ambition, resentment and loyalty.
The story also enters the ceremonial world of a religious sect, where a Prophet receives followers attended by officials with imposing titles. An uneasy audience involving Enid Witcherley leads into scenes of private anxiety in her London flat. Inheritance, imposture and personal attachment shape a novel concerned with the power people gain over others. Readers interested in the connection between spiritual authority and human motives will find that tension expressed through formal rituals and strained conversations.
