“A truly remarkable novel. Published in the 1970s and now beautifully reprinted. The story of a young aristocrat struggling with the cards he's dealt.”
Lord Jim at Home
Review by Patrick Neale
Review by Patrick Neale
When ‘Lord Jim at Home’ was first published in 1973, it was described as ‘squalid and startling’, ‘nastily horrific’, and a ‘monstrous parody’ of upper-middle class English life. It is the story of Giles Trenchard, who grows up isolated in an atmosphere of privilege and hidden violence; who goes to war, and returns; and then, one day – like the hero of Joseph Conrad’s classic ‘Lord Jim’ – commits an act that calls his past, his character and his whole world into question.
