Dr. Francis Prescott founded Justin Martyr, an exclusive prep school in New England. He is the rector of Justin. His life and career are chronicled by several individuals, and each account reveals a different side of the greatly admired man.
The storytellers are as follows:
• His oldest friend;
• An admiring young teacher;
• Three students of differing generations; and
• One of his daughters.
Together they paint a rich portrait of the distinguished rector of Justin.
The first half of this novel flies by, and the second half drags on and on! I cannot help but to think that this novel suffers from too many narrators.
