Description
Beresford wrote Goslings as a novel of a London family under a strange shadow. William Heinemann issued it in London in 1913. Beresford had won notice for The Hampdenshire Wonder. Book one of the novel is called The New Plague, and the Gosling family opens it.
George Gosling is a clerk risen to a man of position. His wife runs a steam-hot kitchen with set weekly rituals. Their daughters haunt the High Road shops and wait for the sales. Gosling grumbles that sales are a fraud while he changes his coat for dinner. Beneath this snug suburban round, a plague of a new kind is gathering. Beresford draws small lives with care before the blow falls on them.
