Description

Saint's Progress by John Galsworthy centers on Edward Pierson, a clergyman facing grief, fatherhood, and moral conflict in a time of war. As he reunites with his daughters, he grows troubled by Noel’s attachment to a young officer bound for danger. Torn between faith, love, and protection, Edward struggles with the emotional costs of duty and the uncertainties of a changing world.

Author

John Galsworthy (1867–1933) helped shape the English novel's passage from Victorian certainties to twentieth-century doubt. A barrister who turned to literature in his thirties, he wrote with an insider's knowledge of the leisured classes and a reformer's impatience with their complacency. The Forsyte Saga made him famous — a multi-generational study of money, marriage, and the hunger to own.
