Midst Granite Hills

On a sweltering August day in Cambridge, Arthur Seaton is meant for the Bar, but his heart is already half in the wild country he longs to revisit. That restlessness leads him to a pale, proud young woman selling her family's treasures to save her sick brother, and her quiet sacrifice awakens in him a plan of discreet generosity that will alter several lives. By arranging a post for Stanley Erith and a refuge at Torhill near Trematon, Arthur sends Grace and her brother into Devon's moorland, where fresh air, rustic hospitality, and the old house's antique charm begin to restore them. Grace wins immediate favor with the kindly rector, Mr. Seaton, who recognizes in her the daughter of a long-ago love and offers the siblings friendship in her mother's memory. As the past stirs in the rectory, so does the present: Arthur's role in their arrival remains a mystery, and when Grace later meets him on the tor, their startled encounter gives way to an intimate, teasing conversation that hints at a deeper bond.
