Summary "The Following of the Star: A Romance" by Florence L. Barclay is a fictional romance novel written in the early 20th century. The story introduces David Rivers, a young preacher who has just returned to a quiet Hampshire village from the wilds of Central Africa. His struggle to rekindle the spiritual fervor in a complacent congregation sets the stage for his encounter with the enigmatic Lady of Mystery, who begins to emerge as a significant presence in his life. The opening of the novel establishes David's character as a passionate and earnest individual, full of zeal but faced with the indifference of his congregation. While addressing a Christmas Eve sermon, he reflects on the challenges of engaging his audience. Amidst his preaching, he is captivated by a mysterious woman in the congregation, later known to be Diana Rivers. In her, he sees the potential for connection and spiritual awakening, both for himself and perhaps for her. The section effectively sets up the emotional and thematic undercurrents that will likely define their relationship going forward, creating a palpable sense of anticipation for the reader.
