Robert Hugh Benson (1871–1914)
Initiation (1914)

A late novel by Monsignor Benson.
Sir Nevill Fanning is a young Catholic baronet. He slowly begins to understand the Catholic doctrine on atonement and suffering when he develops a relationship with a girl who has a serious personality disorder, then later becomes seriously ill.
As ever, Monsignor Benson has some lovely descriptions of English country house life, and a keen analysis of his characters’ interior life.

This was made from scans from The Internet Archive. The cover image is a woodcut of a garden in Frascati, where some of the earlier scenes of the novel are set.

Patricia, I've planned for some time for my first eBook reader read to be Benson's Lord of the World. Looking forward to it.

I've uploaded that one already, GA; also his other utopia, "The Dawn of All." We now have quite a lot of Robert Hugh Benson's works.
