What this book is about
May Sinclair's early novel — published in 1906 as 'Mr. and Mrs. Nevill Tyson' — follows an ill-matched marriage between a social-climbing woman and an idealistic man, tracing the damage their incompatibility does to both of them. Sinclair, who would later develop stream-of-consciousness technique and become a major modernist voice, shows her characteristic psychological precision in this study of domestic entrapment.
