Description

Reverend David Grant, a newly appointed vicar with a novelist’s heart, arrives at the imposing Roy d Castle to pen a letter for his expectant wife, Ethel. Though she must remain confined, his words are meant to paint the castle’s grandeur and the promise of a tranquil country parsonage they will share. Their thirteen‑year marriage has weathered hardship, and the prospect of a fresh home fills both with quiet excitement.

Inside a vast Tudor bedroom, carved panels, a stone hearth and flickering silver candles create a scene fit for a novel. Grant slips into a flannel jacket, draws back heavy curtains, and lets moonlight spill over the garden’s beech‑laden hills, feeling the room’s timeless beauty stir his imagination. He plans to weave his own love story into the very walls of Roy d, hoping the place will become the backdrop for the happy life he and Ethel are about to build.
