Produktbeschreibung
In post-war England, 1950, the small village of Little Maudsley struggles with changing times. When women begin acting out, through vandalism, public drunkenness, and illegal gambling. On the instructions of the Magistrate, Col. Smythe, Reverend Tony Parker establishes an unconventional program of reform through spanking, caning, and guidance. At the heart of this compelling narrative stand four remarkable women: - Vera Hopkins, a skilled cricket player fighting for women's inclusion in village institutions - Margaret Mills, a war widow whose administrative talents are denied recognition - Jane Hadley, whose search for guidance leads to inappropriate attachment - Martha Trent, whose proper exterior masks a shameful secret Under Reverend Parker's firm but compassionate discipline, these women discover paths from chaos to purpose. But not everyone approves of his methods. As whispers of scandal threaten the program's existence, the reformed women must prove their transformation is real and worth fighting for. Through themes of discipline, redemption, and female friendship, this novel explores how a community ravaged by war rebuilds itself through understanding, accountability, and second chances. Perfect for readers who love stories of post-war British village life with themes of proper behaviour and personal growth. A story of healing emerging from darkness, proper appearances masking deep wounds, and the unexpected ways spanking and caning can transform lives. Content Advisory: Contains themes of corporal punishment, grief, and alcoholism in a historical context.
