Description
Hesba Stretton wrote a novel of duty and loss, in an edition dated 1875. Upton Rectory opens the tale in a sleepy market town. Three trains a day tie Upton to London, an hour off. Old houses and green plots fill its streets. Eighteen chapters line the contents page.
Ann Holland, a baby's grave, and town talk fill the early run. The rector's return and a turn called worse than dead come next. Sin and shame, a lost child, and a colonial curacy mark the mid-run. Self-giving, farewells, and despair lead to a long voyage. Near wreck and rescue close the list of heads. Home, and who must be brought back to it, gives the book its name and its drive.
