The Short Day Dying Zusammenfassung

The Short Day Dying Peter Hobbs

Charles Wenmoth is a blacksmith and Methodist lay-preacher in the wildest reaches of South-West England. It is 1870 and Wenmoth devotes his weekdays to work and the Sabbath to walking great distances to preach to dwindling congregations. Charles burns with faith - but it's a faith balanced by his pleasure in nature and the physical world around him. In his relationship with Harriet French, a blind girl who maintains her belief despite her debilitating condition, Wenmoth finds his fragile faith tested in the most trying of circumstances.

The Short Day Dying Bewertungen

'How rare it is to come across a new novel as beautifully conceived and finished as this... A wonderful book.' Kirsty Gunn, Observer '[Wenmoth] is a man of simple faith, whose observations both of the redemptive powers of nature and the cruel nature of rural poverty are beautifully written.' Ian Marchant, Guardian
