One Increasing Purpose is a profound exploration of faith and existential search in the aftermath of the Great War. The novel follows Simon Paris, a soldier who survived the trenches while so many of his comrades perished, leading him to believe that his life was preserved for a divine, albeit unknown, reason. As he navigates the disillusionment of the post-war era, Simon embarks on a spiritual odyssey to uncover his true calling.
His journey takes him through the complexities of modern society and the intimate struggles of his own family, eventually leading him to a transformative realization about the nature of God and the human spirit. Hutchinson's narrative delves into themes of sacrifice, moral integrity, and the universal quest for significance in a world scarred by conflict. A significant work of mid-1920s literature, One Increasing Purpose captures the period's yearning for spiritual renewal and ethical clarity. It remains a poignant character study and a testament to the enduring human need for a sense of mission and belonging.
