Edward Hicks was the Bishop of Lincoln during the First World War – a cleric who had condemned the war but had to watch his sons go off to fight – one not to return. He kept detailed diaries – full of often indiscreet comments – and through them we see a man wrestling with his own conscience and beliefs, in a very public role. He was also a strong supporter of votes for women – highly unusual at that time – and a supporter of teetotalism, again, an unusual stance for a C of E dignatory. This book will be a fascinating glimpse into the impact the War had on those who waited at home, and tried to hold onto their humanity.
