About this audiobook
Piers Otway navigates the jingoistic fervor of late Victorian England while searching for a profound, soul-deep romantic connection. His journey is a quiet rebellion against the cold machinery of imperialism and social competition. This story serves as a sincere, lyrical defense of the heart's sovereignty in a world obsessed with conquest.
