Golden Arrow

Golden Arrow

by Mary Webb

Golden Arrow is a novel set in rural Shropshire, England, that explores themes of love, marriage, and the complexities of human relationships. The story follows Deborah, a young woman who finds herself deeply in love with a new preacher. However, their relationship faces challenges as Deborah chooses to live with him without the traditional bonds of marriage. The novel contrasts Deborah's unconventional path with the more traditional marriage of her brother Joe to Lily, a restless woman seeking escape from her domineering father. Against the backdrop of a tight-knit rural community, Webb's novel delves into the dynamics of love, societal expectations, and the enduring power of nature.
