Meer over het boek

Set against the backdrop of late 19th-century England, the story follows Maurice Hilliard, a mechanical draughtsman who gains financial independence and embarks on a journey that leads him to Eve Madeley, a bookkeeper. Their romance unfolds amidst societal expectations and personal aspirations, exploring themes of love, freedom, and the complexities of modern life. Originally serialized, the novel's successful transition to a single-volume edition was notable for its time, although it received mixed reviews from critics.
