Dr. Wainwright's Patient: A Novel
About This Book
The narrative charts a young man's ardent courtship and the social complications it produces in a provincial community, as friends, family, and rival suitors intervene. Episodes move between workplace decorum, drawing-room politics, letters and private councils, and a physician's involvement that raises questions of duty and sentiment. Characters alternate between witty manoeuvre and sincere passion while journeys and misunderstandings create suspense that gradually resolves through confessions, relenting, and reconciliations.
