Little Minister

by J. M. Barrie

The Little Minister, by J.M. Barrie, delves into the complexities of life in a small Scottish village. The story focuses on a young minister, newly arrived in Thrums, who navigates the intricate social web of the community. His desire to win the villagers' respect clashes with his growing attraction to a mysterious gypsy woman. Her concealed identity and the societal prejudices of the time create a whirlwind of emotions and challenges for both the minister and the village.
