The Dean's Wife and Three Young Curates

This is a story about three young men whose relationship starts at school and develops into manhood through the Anglican church. It exposes the machinations of the church, probably similar to other denominations. It's a torrid tale of questionable ethics, seduction, and sexual excess, leading to crime and finally redemption. The three young men become ministers for all the wrong reasons. Sin is an acceptable indiscretion, not just for them but also for those with whom they associate both inside the church as well as in the wider community. Primal instincts are played out in secular boundaries between the various characters in the story.
