About This Item
Transworld Publishers Limite, 1997. Very Good. The son and grandson of cobblers, Samuel Fairbrother owns a series of boot factories. He buys a Newcastle mansion as a means of showing off his wealth and fortune. Totally out of his social depth, he relies on his butler Mait land to tell him how to dress, when to have a party, and whom to invite. Sa m is a crude, possessive man who blusters loudly when he does not get his w ay. He knows he is considered an upstart. When Sam and his wife separate, h e insists that his oldest child, Janet, trained as a librarian, stay with h im. She and Maitland fall in love, but first one disaster and then another postpone their wedding. Cookson skillfully shows the class conflicts that r esult when a tradesman tries to climb beyond his station. Cookson, a perenn ial favorite (The Obsession,), has written another enjoyable tale of love a nd conflict in late 19th-century England.
