Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Reparation: A Novel
It would be wrong to say that his son Julian proved his chief interest in life; he was actuated by too many motives, and had too many objects and activities, to feel that one boy alone was a sufficient reason for living; but at the same time, Julian's existence certainly made a tremendous difference to him, and was, indeed, the centre of his hopes and plans. He seldom sat down to think continuously about his son, but his mind glanced off towards him a score of times a day, and at the most unlikely moments; a fact which in the case of a very busy man betokened a good deal of paternal affection.
