The Thorncliffes V1 is a novel written by H. M. Urwick and published in 1887. The story revolves around the Thorncliffe family, who are a wealthy and influential family in England. The patriarch of the family, Sir Richard Thorncliffe, is a respected politician and businessman who has built his fortune through hard work and shrewd investments. The novel follows the lives of Sir Richard's children, particularly his two sons, Edward and Arthur. Edward is the eldest son and heir to the family fortune, but he is also a reckless and impulsive young man who often gets into trouble. Arthur, on the other hand, is the more responsible and level-headed of the two brothers, but he is overshadowed by Edward's charisma and charm.As the story unfolds, the Thorncliffe family is faced with a series of challenges and crises that threaten to tear them apart. Edward's wild behavior leads him into a scandalous affair with a married woman, while Arthur struggles to find his place in the family and make a name for himself. Meanwhile, Sir Richard's health begins to decline, and his wife and children must come to terms with the fact that their beloved patriarch may not be with them for much longer.Throughout the novel, Urwick explores themes of family, loyalty, and ambition, as well as the societal pressures and expectations that come with being part of the upper class. The Thorncliffes V1 is a gripping and emotional tale that offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of the British aristocracy during the late 19th century.In Three Volumes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
