Coles A Tale Of A Lonely Parish at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
A tale of a lonely parish reflects on the quiet tensions of rural life, where intellect, ambition, and social standing intersect within the constrained world of a small English community. The novel examines how the pursuit of personal growth unfolds against a backdrop of routine, expectation, and subtle social hierarchies. Through the life of a reflective clergyman, the story explores how education becomes both a source of hope and frustration, revealing the emotional weight of guiding young lives that do not always respond to vision or discipline. As new figures enter the parish, their presence disrupts the familiar rhythm of village life, raising questions about belonging, trust, and change. The narrative captures the loneliness that can accompany service and duty, especially when ideals meet the limits of social class and personal disappointment. It offers a portrait of quiet resilience shaped by compromise, yearning, and the understated drama of lives bound together by proximity rather than affinity.
