Overview

Lovers and Friends is a novel by Edward Frederic Benson, first published in 1921. The story follows the lives of a group of friends and lovers as they navigate the complexities of relationships, marriage, and society in the early 20th century. The main characters include the wealthy and charismatic Lord Malling, his beautiful and flirtatious wife Lady Malling, and their close friends and acquaintances, including the charming and ambitious journalist, Tom Helstone, and the sweet and innocent young woman, Phyllis Rossiter.As the story unfolds, we see the various characters fall in and out of love, struggle with their own desires and ambitions, and confront the expectations of their social class and gender roles. The novel explores themes of love, marriage, infidelity, class, and gender, and offers a vivid portrait of the social and cultural milieu of the time.Benson's writing is characterized by its wit, charm, and sharp observation of human nature, and Lovers and Friends is no exception. The novel is a delightful and engaging read, full of memorable characters and poignant moments, and offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of the British upper class in the early 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
