Description
Unlike Hesba Stretton's shorter religious works for child readers, Hester Morley's promise is a full-length, adult novel. It is not a simple tale of redemption through faith, but a more complex story of murder, betrayal, and seduction. While Hester and, to a lesser extent, her father, are shown as having the Christian virtues of faith and forgiveness, Hesba Stretton contrasts them with the narrow-mindedness and lack of charity of the members of the dissenting charity, and the frivolity and superstition of the Catholic Madame Lawson.
