George Passant
A wise, moving novel about a mentor and his protégé: “The central character . . . is immensely appealing . . . a peculiarly haunting and sympathetic figure.” —The New York Times
In late 1920s England, Lewis Eliot is building a career in law and has found a mentor in George Passant. The quirky small-town solicitor’s clerk has much wisdom to share from his years of experience—during which he has also managed to hold on to his idealism. Eliot is just one of the many young devotees drawn to Passant, hoping for guidance from the man who’s always ready to extend a loan or a listening ear. However, the young men will have to learn to fly on their own—and come to Passant’s aid themselves—in this absorbing novel by “an extremely shrewd observer of men and society” (Commentary).
“An enlightened discussion of questions of conscience and conduct and commitment. . . . Filled with the concerns which are so fundamentally and essentially a part of this writer’s work and have attracted a firm following.” —Kirkus Reviews
