Can "love" triumph in the face of "working class injustice"? The novel "Cursing Souls" by Robert Parr raises these questions within an exciting framework of "conflict and suspense." The novel's events revolve around "Marsten", a young worker who fights for "the rights of his colleagues" under the "tyranny of factory manager Sartwell." The confrontation becomes more complicated when the flames of "love" ignite between Marsten and Edna, the daughter of Sartwell himself. Marsten finds himself at a crossroads, torn between his "duty to fight" and his "desire to win Edna's heart." He must balance "principles and feelings," and prove that he is capable of "confronting injustice" without losing his "true love."
