The Missioner

The beautiful, wealthy, and privileged Lady Wilhemina is the owner of the extensive estate of Thorpe, where countless people who depend on her live in substantially less comfort. When the idealistic young Victor Macheson requests the use of one of her properties to address the townspeople on the importance of social reform, she rejects him. Macheson will not take her rejection so easily though, and Lady Wilhelmina soon finds herself in Macheson's thrall. In 'The Missioner' author E. Phillips Oppenheim has given us a fascinating study of the politics and social issues of the time. -
