| Summary | "The Chapel on the Hill" by Alfred Pretor is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Harold Stirling, a curate who has just taken a position in a rural parish, becoming acquainted with the local community, particularly the Rector and his family. The narrative explores themes of friendship, romance, and the contrasts between different character personalities and social roles. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Harold and his close friend, Riverdale, who has chosen the path of an artist, while Harold is set to become a curate in a quiet village. The opening chapters depict Harold's arrival at the Rectory, where he is welcomed by the genial Rector, Mr. Richardson. As Harold settles in, he observes the idyllic setting of the village, striking up relationships with the Rector's children and grappling with burgeoning feelings for Marion, a cousin who seems to hold a special connection to Riverdale. The story establishes a foundation of camaraderie, moral discussions, and romantic tension, hinting at the complexities that will unfold as Harold navigates his new life and relationships in the parish community.
