John Galsworthy 
Patrician [EPUB ebook] 

Best known for works such as the epic series The Forsyte Saga, John Galsworthy was one of the first writers of the early twentieth century to cast a sharp, satirical eye on the misdeeds and hypocrisies of the British upper class. The Patrician is another of Galsworthy’s tales in this vein, delving into the motivations and machinations that underlie the august Milton family.
