About this audiobook
Will Warburton, a gentleman by birth, is forced by financial ruin to secretly become a grocer, hiding his trade from his social circle. His double life exposes the fragility of status and the arbitrary shame attached to honest labor. This is a humane, ironic tale of resilience and the rediscovery of self-worth outside of class definitions.
