In the midst of the First World War, Peter, a traditional Anglican priest, finds himself serving as a padre in a coastal hospital in northern France. Here, his steadfast spiritual beliefs are put to the test as he witnesses the everyday lives and desires of soldiers from all walks of life, mingling with the diverse French community. Amidst this backdrop, he meets Julie, a spirited nurse from South Africa, and their passionate affair unfolds against the rigid morals of the era. Peter grapples with the profound conflict between his love for Julie and his devotion to God. This compelling narrative stirred controversy when it was first published, challenging societal norms and personal convictions. (Summary by Simon Evers)Copyright Romance Stories Spirituality
