A semi-autobiographical novel that attacks Victorian era hypocrisy as it traces four generations of the Pontifex family. Butler dared not publish it during his lifetime, but when it was published, it was accepted as part of the general revulsion against Victorianism.

Just finished this book and I thoroughly enjoyed it. In particular I found the discussion on investing and finances very insightful. But more than that the book takes an inside look at the characters of many different people.
