The story is set during the tumultuous times of the English Restoration, particularly focusing on the events surrounding the ejection of Nonconformist ministers in 1662, including the struggles faced by the protagonist's family. The narrative likely follows the lives of a Nonconformist preacher, his family, and their experiences of conscience, sacrifice, and faith within a changing political and religious landscape. At the start of the narrative, the reader is introduced to a significant moment known as "Farewell Sunday," when two thousand ministers preached their last sermons before being expelled from their churches due to the Act of Uniformity. The main character reflects on this impactful day, detailing the harsh realities faced by those who chose conscience over compliance. The opening vividly describes the serene village of Bradford Orcas on this fateful day, contrasting the peaceful scenery with the emotional turmoil of the ministers and their families as they prepare to leave their posts. The narrative establishes a rich historical and personal backdrop, inviting readers to explore themes of faith, resilience, and the consequences of standing up for one's beliefs.
