Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book follows a young boy, Freddy, and his mother, Martha, as they take up residence with their wealthy cousin, Dr. Candy, a schoolmaster, in the hopes of securing a better life for themselves. Freddy settles into boarding school life while Martha attempts to court Dr. Candy's favor and cement her place within his will, though the situation becomes more complicated with the arrival of the charming Felix Roach, a shady figure from Martha's past. This story explores the themes of ambition, status, and desperation in Edwardian England, as the characters scheme within an environment of social climbing, falsehoods, and familial obligation. The author provides insights into the rigid social hierarchies and class distinctions that prevailed in early 20th century England, as well as the lengths people would go to rise above their station in life.
