The book reflects on the life and personality of Robert Hugh Benson, a prominent Anglican priest who later converted to Roman Catholicism, and it outlines his vibrant character through the lens of familial affection and memory. This work appears to weave together the intimate moments and significant details of a close-knit family as they recount their experiences with Hugh, offering insights into his passions, struggles, and transformations.
