Young, insecure, and smart, Godwin Peake is an atheist. At odds with his poor, religious family, whose conservatism disgusts him, he longs to be part of the wealthy class. But once the door to moneyed society opens to Godwin, he begins to lie in order to fit in—losing himself in the process, in this 1892 novel.
