In nineteenth-century England, Clive Mortimer, son of a wealthy industrialist, and Freddy Oxley, the brilliant son of a laborer employed by Clive's father, are inseparable friends until they both fall in love with the same woman
Malcolm MacDonald shows a good grasp of human nature, I really enjoyed some of his insights. The storyline, however, ended just a little too perfectly after such tumultuous relationships throughout. Not bad overall for a random book picked up in the library. I'd recommend it for anyone looking for a solid book that doesn't require much thought from the reader.
