About this book
Daily Bible lessons leave fourteen-year-old Martin Court Bolland full of questions about the stories he must learn. At the farmhouse in Elmsdale, John Bolland demands exact answers and strict obedience, while Martin longs for cricket and the village brook. Louis Tracy contrasts the boy's curious mind with the farmer's fixed beliefs, drawing attention to differences in their speech and appearance that raise questions about family identity.
Across this Yorkshire community, public respectability and private motives pull against each other. Mrs. Saumarez seeks the villagers' goodwill at a chapel gathering, while Angèle arranges a walk with Martin to stir Elsie Herbert's jealousy. A police inquiry into George Pickering's serious wound adds another source of uncertainty. The novel brings together young attachments, religious disagreement and a developing mystery, giving readers village life shaped by competing loyalties and the pressure to appear respectable.
