Plot summary
In 1947 a small Catholic mission in China has no priest and awaits a replacement. A man in clerical robes arrives and is received as Father O'Shea. The other Western residents are Dr. David Sigman, his wife Beryl, and nurse Anne Scott, a war widow. They run a hospital for the villagers of the Seven Villages while warlords and communists fight a civil war. O'Shea's first Sunday sermon, given in English and Chinese, and his respect for local customs earn the parishioners' approval. Anne is drawn to him and is uneasy about it.
