Produktbeschreibung
In All Roads Lead to Calvary, the protagonist, Joan, navigates the challenges of faith, personal growth, and ambition as she strives to make her mark as a journalist. Her journey reflects a deep inner conflict between her professional aspirations and the moral questions that arise from her exploration of religion and societal values. As Joan delves into the history of London's churches, she is confronted with stories of faith and the legacies of notable figures, which challenge her own beliefs. The novel examines how Joan's career as a journalist intertwines with her quest for truth, as she seeks to understand the complexities of human existence through the lens of both historical events and modern dilemmas. Her discussions with Mary Stopperton and reflections on the sermons she attends highlight the tension between tradition and the progressive ideals Joan holds as she navigates the moral uncertainties of her time. Ultimately, the story explores how Joan's profession shapes her worldview and how her role as a journalist forces her to confront the balance between personal integrity and societal expectations.

Autorenporträt
Jerome K. Jerome was an English author and comedian who lived from 2 May 1859 to 14 June 1927. His humorous travelogue Three Men in a Boat is his most well-known work (1889). Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow, a collection of essays, is among the other works (1886-1927). The fourth child of Jerome Jones and Clapp, an ironmonger and lay preacher, was Jerome Clapp. Due to poor investments made in the local mining business, the family became impoverished. Jerome wanted to enter politics or become a man of letters, but he struggled to make ends meet. He tried his hand at acting in 1877 under the stage name Harold Crichton after being inspired by his older sister Blandina's passion for the theatre. He wedded Georgina Elizabeth Henrietta Stanley Marris in 1888, nine days after she separated from her first husband. In June 1927, Jerome experienced a paralytic stroke and brain hemorrhage. He spent two weeks in the Northampton General Hospital before passing away. At St. Mary's Church in Ewelme, Oxfordshire, Jerome was laid to rest. "For we are laborers with God," his gravestone reads.
