- Synopsis
- An academic is accused of fraud in this novel set in 1950s England by &“an extremely shrewd observer of men and society&” (Commentary). At Lewis Eliot&’s Cambridge college, Dr. Donald Howard is not well liked. Some believe his research to be subpar, and his far-left politics off-putting. So no one much mourns when Howard is fired for committing academic fraud. Eliot, though, is disturbed when new information seems to throw doubt on the don&’s guilt, dividing the fellows against each other and compelling Eliot to prevent a possible miscarriage of justice. This suspenseful story is by the Booker Prize finalist and winner of the James Tait Black Memorial Award for Fiction. &“Lionel Trilling has spoken of the job the contemporary novelist does of &‘telling us the way things are&’: The Affair is only the latest evidence to confirm that this is a job at which C. P. Snow excels.&” —Commentary &“A master craftsman.&” —The New York Times
