The Rector's Daughter
The Rector's Daughter | F.M. Mayor
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
Dedmayne Rectory is quietly decaying, its striped chintz and darkened rooms are a bastion of outmoded Victorian values. Here Mary has spent thirty-five years, devoting herself to her sister, now dead, and to her father, Canon Jocelyn. Although she is pitied by her neighbours for this muted existence, Mary is content. But when she meets Robert Herbert, Mary's ease is destroyed and years of suppressed emotion surface through her desire for him. First published in 1924 this novel is an impressive exploration of Mary's relationship with her father, of her need for Robert and the way in which, through each, she comes to a clearer understanding of love.

Here you go, @Leftcoastzen !

Some of my recent (like 15) green Viragos (and a bonus #PersephoneBooks sighting cuz it‘s a square photo). They both run off the page a bit but you get the idea. 😆😆

Have you read any of them?

Anyone else?

Centique If I met someone and didn‘t have any forewarning before seeing those two shelves in their house I would probably have palpitations! I‘d have to be helped to a chair and given a sip of whiskey for my nerves. It‘s like seeing the Crown Jewels of bookwormdom 😍 And then I‘d be all Anne Shirley meeting Diana “I just knew we‘d be bosom friends” 😂 5y
