The story is set in the late 19th century and follows the life of a young man named John Herring, who is orphaned at a young age and raised by his uncle. John is deeply religious and aspires to become a priest, but his plans are derailed when he falls in love with a young woman named Ruth. John's love for Ruth is complicated by the fact that she is engaged to another man, and he struggles to reconcile his feelings with his faith. When Ruth's fianc����� is killed in a tragic accident, John sees it as a sign that he is meant to be with her and they become engaged. However, their happiness is short-lived when Ruth falls ill and dies soon after their wedding.Devastated by his loss, John turns to his faith for solace and becomes a priest. He is sent to a remote parish in Cornwall, where he becomes embroiled in a bitter dispute between two families. As he tries to mediate the conflict, John is forced to confront his own doubts and struggles with his faith.The Way of Sorrows is a powerful exploration of love, loss, and faith, and Baring-Gould's vivid descriptions of the Cornish landscape and people bring the story to life.
