About this ebook
Esther is a comic story that deals with a young, freethinking socialite who falls desperately in love with an Episcopal minister. The result is a clash of intellects, a confrontation between faith and reason and a battle of the sexes. Adams creates a story filled with tension and personality clashes, painted against a backdrop of arguments about religion, science, art and poetry.
