Gilbert Gurney, Vol. 2 of 3 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

A witty and shadowy Victorian tale of love, loyalty, and unreliable rumors that keeps you turning the pages.

In a world of drawn curtains and social cleverness, a young man navigates friendship, flirtation, and a web of mistaken loyalties. The story moves through bustling London streets and drawing rooms, where a chance meeting, a crowded lodge, and a handful of sharp tongues spark a cascade of misunderstandings and hidden motives.

Alongside a cast of memorable characters—a bibliomaniac bookseller, a gallant lieutenant, and a doctor with opinions on marriage—the humor, intrigue, and social satire unfold with brisk dialogue and lively misdirection. The narrative builds toward revelations that test trust and puncture vanity, all while keeping the mood nimble and entertaining.
