Synopsis

This book, born into obscurity, presents a vivid narrative of John Q. A. Gillies, a man whose isolated, monotonous existence as a post office clerk abruptly transforms. Thrust into an unexpected inheritance, he embarks on a journey to his ancestral home, Cragness. As he steps across the threshold, he stumbles upon both a physical and emotional labyrinth that will challenge his very identity. Driven by an unyielding curiosity, Gillies uncovers the secrets of Cragness and the Vaughn family, all the while wrestling with his own personal demons. His experiences mirror a broader societal transition, as the old guard gives way to the new. The narrative explores themes of self-discovery, family history, and the nature of inheritance, inviting readers to ponder upon the complexities of their own pasts and futures. As Gillies navigates the complexities of his newfound legacy, his transformation is both profound and poignant, ultimately culminating in a revelation that will forever alter his perception of Cragness, the Vaughns, and himself. In its exploration of familial bonds, social change, and the transformative power of self-discovery, this book offers a rich tapestry of human experience, resonant with insights and wisdom.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Messrs. Jones, Brown Robinson's chambers elicited a gruff Come in, from Robinson, who being the youngest and worst paid of the firm, was expected to give the most time and do the most work.

Good morning, sir. A re you looking for one of the firm? I'm Robinson, announced the lawyer, concisely, for the tall yellow man with the dubious look did not strike him as a good investment for much politeness. Yes, sir. I was looking for one of the firm, although I'm sorry to trouble you for nothing Heavens! what a voice the fellows got. A splendid baritone. Should like to hear him try Suoni la Tromba, thought Mr. Robinson, who was a bit of an amateur in musical matters. But he said: No trouble; no trouble, sir. Take a seat. You were saying? I got this letter last night. It is directed in my name, but I suppose there is some mistake. I cant think that anybody knows of anything to my advantage. don't. Mr. Robinson's professionally quick eyes traversed the face, figure, and outward adornment of the person so quietly uttering this forlorn sentiment, and then fell upon the letter in his hand. Oh, yes. Mr. Gillies, I presume? My name is Gillies, admitted the clerk, dubiously. Of course. And this is your address? pursued the lawyer, rustling the letter. Yes. That is, I am in the post-office, and my name is John Q. Adams Gillies. Certainly. I made a few inquiries of Mr. Postmaster - before sending this letter. It's all right, Mr. Gillies, I assure you. Step this way. And Mr. Robinson led the way to the inner office, pointed to a seat beside the desk, and disposed himself in the arm-chair before it. John Gillies looked troubled and anxious. For five-and-forty years he had led an existence so completely
