About this eBook

Author Lyster, Annette
Title Ralph Trulock's Christmas Roses
Original Publication London: The Religious Tract Society, 1921.
Summary "Ralph Trulock's Christmas Roses" by Annette Lyster is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in the English village of Fairford, primarily focusing on Ralph Trulock, an elderly man grappling with his dark past and the shadows of grief. The narrative explores themes of redemption, community, and the healing power of kindness, intertwined with the traditions of Christmas and the deep-rooted connections among the inhabitants of the village. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Lady Mabel's Rest, a charitable establishment founded by Lady Mabel Greatrex, who, after experiencing personal tragedy, dedicated her life to the welfare of the poor in Fairford. The new arrivals at Lady Mabel's Rest—a widow named Mrs. Short and Ralph Trulock—set the stage for a compelling intertwining of their stories. The opening chapters depict Ralph's solemnity and isolation, contrasted with the bright spirit of May Cloudesley, a young curate’s wife who aims to bring warmth and joy to the residents, especially on Christmas Eve. As the curate and his wife make their rounds to visit the inhabitants of Lady Mabel's Rest, Ralph is portrayed as a man burdened by his past losses, hinting at deep emotional conflicts that foreshadow richer character development as the story progresses.
