"Herb of Grace" by Rosa Nouchette Carey is a literary novel likely written during the late 19th century. The book centers on Malcolm Herrick, a thoughtful soul who grapples with his artistic aspirations while navigating the conventional life of a barrister in Lincoln's Inn. The story delves into his internal conflicts, his appreciation for beauty in everyday life, and his connections with various characters, including his friend Cedric Templeton and the amiable Anna Sheldon, who enrich his experience and challenge his introspections. The opening of the novel introduces the reader to Malcolm Herrick, a man who feels a deep yearning for the artistic life that he never fully embraced. As he observes the world around him, finding beauty in simple moments, the narrative sets a tone of appreciation for life's subtleties and the struggles of the spirit. We witness his encounter with a cobbler and his crippled daughter, Kit, which reinforces his compassionate nature. Additionally, we are introduced to his friend Cedric, who brings both levity and conflict into Malcolm's life. Through Malcolm's interactions, readers gain insight into his contemplative nature and the social dynamics of his life, making the opening chapters a rich foundation for the characters and themes that will unfold throughout the novel.
