Love and Mr. Lewisham
by H. G. Wells
A young, impoverished and ambitious science student, Lewisham is locked in a struggle to advance himself through academic success. But when her ex-lover Ethel Henderson re-enters her life, her rigid cynical presence descends into chaos by the rebirth of an old passion; as he returns to his love, he also hides a dark secret. Because he is involved in a conspiracy that contradicts his strongest beliefs.
