Description
The story of the romantic and sexual initiation of a suburban heroine, Nancy Lord, which Gissing wrote after his return from Exeter. He took lodgings with his second wife at 76 Burton Road, Brixton, where South London provided new literary inspiration. He went for long walks through nearby Camberwell, soaking up impressions of the way of life he saw emerging there.Tags

Now there's a twist: lots of books about couples living together without getting married, but here's one about a couple who get married without living together!
One of this underrated writer's best.
