Summary "Peccavi" by E. W. Hornung is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set in the village of Long Stow, it unfolds the story of a local clergyman, Mr. Robert Carlton, grappling with guilt and scandal surrounding the death of his parishioner, Molly Musk. The central character, Carlton, struggles with the repercussions of his actions, hinting at themes of betrayal, morality, and communal judgment. The opening of the novel introduces us to the ambiance of a village church during a funeral, where a sense of foreboding looms as the protagonist grapples with the loss of Molly Musk, whose unexpected return and subsequent death stir the community. As the narrative unfolds, we learn of the discontent brewing beneath the surface, leading to a crisis for the rector when secrets of his past surface. This conflict is further fueled by the returning figure of Jasper Musk, Molly’s father, who vows to uncover the truth and seek retribution, setting the stage for an exploration of moral complexity and the weight of conscience.
