AbstractHistoryArchive Description

An English village curate assists the woman he secretly loves to turn away from the man she has grown to love and return to her husband she married at her father's wish in Switzerland. She teaches music and plays organ in his church until she learns of the friend's faded passion and her husband comes to claim her. Story does not question the conventions of Christian behaviour but does convey empathy for the woman's position and some musings on a woman's heart ... Generally well written. (PB)
