Description
The Gadfly is a novel by E. L. Voynich, published in 2015. Set in a theological seminary, the story revolves around a young man searching for a lost manuscript.
On a hot evening in June, the protagonist ponders through a pile of manuscript sermons in the library, accompanied by the Father Director, Canon Montanelli. As the Father Director pauses to rewrite a passage, he glances lovingly at the young man, who is bent over the papers.
The atmosphere is one of quiet contemplation, with the windows wide open to let in the cool evening air. The manuscript sermons provide a backdrop for a story of introspection and self-discovery.
