Book Overview

""A Man Under Authority"" is a novel written by Ethel M. Dell. The story revolves around a man named Peter Stannard, who is a successful businessman and has everything he could ever want in life. However, he is haunted by a tragic incident from his past that he cannot seem to shake off. One day, he meets a young woman named Joan, who is different from any other woman he has ever met. She is kind, compassionate, and has a strong faith in God. As their friendship grows, Peter realizes that he is falling in love with her. However, he is torn between his love for Joan and his fear of losing control over his life. Meanwhile, Joan is struggling with her own personal demons and is faced with a difficult decision that could change her life forever. The novel is a beautiful portrayal of the power of love and faith, and how they can transform even the most broken of souls.1925. Dell, British writer, began writing at a young age. Most of her stories were ones of passion and love set in India and other British colonial possessions. The story begins: I shall certainly call upon her myself, said Mrs. Winch. And I shall advise the Vicar to do the same. I am sure he will follow your advice, said Miss Barnet rather fulsomely. Miss Barnet was always nervously fulsome in the presence of her employer. Mrs. Winch paid no attention of any sort to her-also her invariable custom. To speak to Miss Barnet was very much the same as to speak to oneself. She never disagreed and nearly always applauded.
