Abbeychurch

Focusing on the emotional journey of two teenage girls, the narrative unfolds with Helen Woodbourne returning from a walk to work on her drawing. The story captures the nuances of their feelings and relationships, particularly through the lens of significant events like an upcoming Consecration. Yonge's writing reflects her commitment to the church and the ideals of the Oxford Movement, providing a backdrop that enriches the characters' experiences. This work explores themes of self-control and self-conceit within a richly detailed setting.
