About This Book

Set on a rugged moor and riverside quay, the novel traces how a young woman's departure and her infant's presence unsettle a small community. A stern relative arrives to reclaim his child, revealing old resentments, religious strictness, and private folly; subsequent episodes follow the resulting domestic and social entanglements—petitions, betrayals, confessions, and legal and moral reckonings—that embroil neighbors, lovers, and fathers. Interweaving vivid landscape description with episodic scenes of sacrifice, mistake, and atonement, the narrative examines pride, passion, and the consequences of rigid judgment as secrets are uncovered and characters confront the costs of their choices.
