Hometown after the Storm

About This Novel
When Officer Ryder saw the manor, all the memories came back. He's been here, he knows everything here. Young Charles Ryder met Sebastian, the handsome son of a marquis, at Oxford University, and entered Brideshead Manor through Sebastian's introduction. Since then, the manor has left an indelible mark on Charles' life. He developed an unspeakable relationship with a brother and sister, and witnessed the disintegration of a family. Sebastian's father abandoned his family and lover and settled abroad; his religious mother became increasingly crazy and put heavy shackles on her children in the name of love. Young Sebastian longed to break away from the prison of his family but was unable to do so. He drank all day long and eventually left his hometown and lived in poverty for the rest of his life. The young and beautiful eldest daughter Julia also gave up her love and happiness early because she could not get rid of the shackles of faith.

The mother's faith ruined her daughter's love and destroyed her son's nature. . . Why
Its theme-the role of divine grace in a group of people with very different destinies but closely connected with each other-may be self-consciously grandiose, but I don't intend to apologize for that.
