Description
Set in the shifting world of an English boarding house, Craven House is a novel that explores the lives of its inhabitants with a youthful brio and optimism. Written by Patrick Hamilton, this early work showcases his unique voice and perspective.
The generational conflicts of Hamilton's own youth are woven throughout the narrative, as tensions between old and new ways of life come to a head. The 'servant problem' is a recurring theme, adding to the sense of unease that builds towards a climactic resolution.
