Synopsis

The Claverings is an uncomfortable yet compelling read. Our hero is Harry Clavering, who is jilted by the beautiful Julia Brabazon in favor of a dissipated, but rich, old aristocrat, Lord Ongar. Clavering devotes himself to a career as an apprentice civil engineer and becomes engaged to his master's daughter, Florence Burton. He looks set for a successful family and business life until the widowed Julia Brabazon, now Lady Ongar, reappears. He must choose between a safe but predictable life with Florence, or the glittering and indolent role of Julia's husband.
