Deeply immersed in the historical and literary context of individual lives, this book explores the darker recesses of human nature, in particular those of a group of characters living in rural Sussex. The author delves into the influence of historical events upon character and circumstance through complex and flawed characters and the moral ambiguities they face. This book captures the essence of frailty, temptation, and moral erosion in a stark, tragic, and profoundly moving narrative. Ultimately, it is a powerful meditation on sin, forgiveness, and humanity's capacity for both good and evil.

Excerpt from Nude Souls: A Novel
Sometimes Harold had drunk too much, and could ride only with grave risk at such a pace, so that she remained terror-struck till their return at nightfall or midnight, imagining some disastrous end at last to her poor boy's follies. But they always came galloping back without mishap, on hot saddles and sweating horses, and she was thankful to have him safe, whether sober or unsober, and to get him to bed.
