Description
William J. Locke's 1915 novel centres on Jaffery, a big, warm-hearted man whose strength and sudden tenderness shape every room he enters. Friends gather round him, women are drawn to him, and his restless energy keeps pulling him toward new schemes, quarrels and reconciliations.
Told with affection and humour, the story moves between domestic life, friendship and romance. Jaffery's loyalty counts for more than his judgment, and his mistakes cost him dearly before they are forgiven. Locke makes him less a hero than a force of nature: generous, impulsive and hard to forget, even when those closest to him wish he would sit still.
