    About this ebook

    Harvey Rolfe lives quietly on his modest inheritance at the fringe of London’s social and commercial life, but tumultuous events bring Alma Frothingham into his orbit. Their contentment doesn’t last long. Harvey’s inability to see Alma as merely selfish rather than an emancipated “new woman,” turns this story into a tale of a marriage poisoned by sexual jealousy and deceit.

    • 5/5
      A brilliant classic novel which still speaks to us today and with which we can identify.
    • 3/5
      Seems to be about the whirlpool of polite society, which isn't very polite. None of the characters are likable, though one does feel a kinship to Harvey Rolfe, an intelligent man trying to do the right thing.
