As usual, Arnold Bennett’s writing is wonderful. This is a somewhat odd story, and doesn’t have a lot of dramatic twists and turns, because it is primarily I’ll look into the lives of some interesting people. It’s a fairly long story, and just carry you along in a nice way.

a study of character

The characters are all brought to vivid life by Bennet's wonderful observation of the different quirks of thought and behaviour . Although long, the story held my interest from start to finish. The reader is excellent and the different voices enhance each character.

Perceprive psychological study of a miserly bookseller, his unfortunate wife, and their kind servant, the only survivor of the peculiar household. Excellently narrated.

This is a wonderful story- very sad in some ways but a great feat of human story telling.

Touching story, well read
