Captain Nicholas
by Hugh Walpole
The story of an evil brother who returns to visit his family and the devastation he has reaped for his contented London family. This novel is an exploration of human conflict within an ordinary family of the 1930s and is tested by the invasion of ideas opposite the family's black sheep, Captain Nicholas. The sequel to The Green Mirror, the character of Captain Nicholas is the most original of all Walpole's works.
