The Conscience of the Rich (The Strangers and Brothers Novels)

Synopsis

An emotional gulf forms between a young Jewish barrister and his father in a &“wise, beautifully controlled and deeply moving novel&” set in prewar England (The New York Times Book Review). The scion of a wealthy Anglo-Jewish family, Charles March, is expected to fulfill the ambitions his father has for him. The young man, a friend of Lewis Eliot, shows great promise as a barrister. But an abrupt career change—and marriage to a woman deemed both unworthy and untrustworthy—drives a wedge between father and son, ultimately putting the family&’s good name at risk. &“Snow is rare among contemporary novelists in the quiet conviction with which he expresses love between brother and sister, son and father, husband and wife.&” —The New York Times Book Review &“Leisurely, intelligent and incisive.&” —Kirkus Reviews &“Together, the [Strangers and Brothers] sequence presents a vivid portrait of British academic, political and public life.&” —Jeffrey Archer, The Guardian
