Comparable to Charlotte Cory's Unforgiving, this vivid rendering of 19th-century English life is "a delight from the first page to the last" (Observer). When God told John Wroe to comfort himself with seven virgins, his congregation gave him their daughters. This novel is their story--including the trial that brought Wroe's household to its dramatic end.
