Lauded as a masterpiece rivalling the works of George Eliot and Jane Austen, F.M. Mayor's 'The Rector's Daughter' is a tour de force of emotional depth and literary finesse. This exquisitely crafted novel, first published in 1924, delves into the intricate tapestry of human emotions with unparalleled elegance and versatility.

At the heart of the narrative lies Dedmayne Rectory, a fading bastion of Victorian values, where Mary has spent thirty-five years in dutiful service to her late sister and her father, Canon Jocelyn. Though pitied by neighbours for her seemingly muted existence, Mary finds contentment in her quiet life. However, her carefully constructed world is shattered upon meeting Robert Herbert, unleashing a torrent of long-suppressed emotions and desire.

Mayor's narrative prowess shines as she meticulously explores Mary's complex relationships: the intricate dynamic with her father, her burgeoning need for Robert, and how these connections lead her to a profound understanding of love. This haunting tale, brimming with passion and delicacy, offers readers a compelling journey through the landscape of the human heart.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
