Summary
Plumb: A New Zealand Classic
Regarded as one of New Zealand’s finest novels, Plumb introduces us to the intolerant, irascible clergyman George Plumb—half saint, half monster, superhuman in his spiritual strength and destructive in his utter self-absorption. What personal price is this man prepared to pay in the pursuit of his conscience, no matter what the consequences are for those he loves?
