The New Rector Stanley John Weyman 9781523334766 Books
Back when lords were able to gift, sell, or bestow the position of a rector, it was a privileged position rather than a religious one. Aside from the prestige and power, came a house, and salary/annuity for life.A gentleman of no means is unexpectedly granted a rector, until everyone in his new parish suspects him of appropriating the privilege due to someone else. So forth continues the story with many involutions, as everyone is expecting the other shoe to drop, that is-except the unsuspecting rector who is confounded by how difficult it is to win over his parish. True Weyman style, the tension is broken up with excellent character studies, the virtues of honor during that period, and the lifestyle of a small country village. However, it is a breakaway from his swashbuckling adventurer storyline I am familiar with.
And the ending is rather a surprise.
Enjoy!

The New Rector Stanley John Weyman 9781523334766 Books Reviews
Though well written as other Weyman writings read, "The New Rector" was drudgery. Simply put took half the book to finally get involved in the story enough to complete the reading. Picked up read a few lines then put aside to eventually go back to again try to read more only to put it down again; time and time again. The story though sweet and good was just not up to Weyman's standards.
This book was written many, many years ago. The writing style was definitely not a current style. The writing made me think-translating in my head from the old-fashioned style to a more contemporary and current style. I enjoyed the story immensely. It was very entertaining. I also learned about the placement of the Vicars and their sponsorship by the local Lords. I have downloaded other books by this author and plan on some future enjoyment of them.
