Synopsis
Excerpt from Born in Exile a Novel, Vol. 3
The cuckoo clock in Mrs. Boots's kitchen had just struck three. A wind roared from the north-east, and light thickened beneath a sky which made threat of snow. Peak was in a mood to enjoy the crackling fire; he settled himself with a book in his easy-chair, and thought with pleasure of two hours' reading, before the appearance of the homely teapot.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This novel is set in 1892 and follows the story of Godwin Peak, a young man from an impoverished background seeking entry into the upper echelons of society. Born out of wedlock and with relatives in the lowest echelons of the class system, he has had to teach himself poise and manner in order to overcome his origins. Despite this, Peak is intelligent and ambitious and tries to forge a career for himself within the church, but his lack of birthright continues to trouble him and those around him. Peak's struggle to overcome social barriers is set against a backdrop of the changing intellectual and religious landscape of the time. Peak's progressive ideas place him at odds with the religious establishment, but these same ideas also give him favor with the modernists within the church and other influential people. The author explores concepts of inequality of birth, changing religious attitudes, the nature of personal morality, and the importance of social justice. This book will appeal to a wide range of readers interested in delving into the social, political, and intellectual landscape of Victorian England.
