by Thomas Hardy
The Laodicean (someone whose religious beliefs are “lukewarm”) of the title is Paula Power who bought the ancient castle De Stancy which she is determined to restore.

The various machinations of De Stancy and his son keep the narrative moving along at a fast pace.Summary by Simon Evers
