Description

A cultured expatriate in Paris, Monsieur Beverley Claghorn has spent a lifetime polishing his manners, his wardrobe, and his reputation as a philosopher. Beneath the polished exterior lies a restless mind tormented by the weight of the Westminster Confession and a lingering resentment toward the very faith it proclaims. His days are spent navigating the elegant salons of the Rue de la Paix while wrestling with questions that have haunted him since youth.

At home, the quiet strength of his wife and the inquisitive spirit of his daughter bring both comfort and new challenges. The daughter, raised amid the city's glittering art and ideas, begins to sense the tension between her father's intellectual pride and the deeper spiritual currents that surround them. As she confronts the doctrines that have long divided her family, she must decide whether to uphold tradition, forge her own belief, or seek a middle path that might reconcile both. Their intertwined journeys promise a thoughtful exploration of faith, identity, and the bonds that hold a family together.

About the author

HT

Hilary Trent

Best known for the early-20th-century novel Mr. Claghorn’s Daughter, this elusive author has left behind a work that blends social observation, romance, and questions about belief. Very little biographical information appears to survive, which gives the book an added air of mystery.
