About This Book

Set during the mid-17th-century Cromwellian ascendancy, the tale follows a morose miller, Pierre Moullin, at a Guernsey bay whose mill and surrounding rocks bear a crimson stain. The narrative recounts the local legend explaining that coloring, traces the miller's harsh dealings with neighbors and family, and unfolds events that expose moral consequences and island superstitions. Interwoven are descriptive sketches of place, community reactions, and fanciful explanations for the bay's appearance, presented with local color and a didactic tone.
