An earnest outsider unsettles a comfortable village world
Vintage Fair Condition - Boards scuffed/spotted, corners/spine ends worn. Pages foxed/stained, tissue guard creased. Published 1908.
Victor Macheson arrives with a sincere desire to bring religious purpose to a village that appears prosperous and contented. His determination to hold meetings and challenge spiritual complacency is not welcomed by everyone, particularly Wilhelmina, the influential mistress of Thorpe-Hatton. To her, his arrival threatens an established way of life; to him, comfortable appearances cannot answer the deeper needs he believes he sees. Their disagreement develops into a contest of conviction and authority, exposing dissatisfaction beneath the calm surface of the community. E. Phillips Oppenheim brings questions of class, influence and personal fulfilment into a story shaped by strong personalities and competing ideals. The Missioner explores what happens when the wish to change other people encounters their resistance, and when certainty is tested by unexpected human connections.
