Description
'Riceyman Steps' — Arnold Bennett Set in a poor neighbourhood of London near King’s Cross, 'Riceyman Steps' centres on Henry Earlforward, a miserly and emotionally isolated bookseller whose obsession with money shapes his relationships with those around him. His household includes his devoted but increasingly unhappy wife, Violet, while the lives of their neighbours reveal the hardships and quiet dramas of working-class London. Bennett combines detailed social observation with a deeply human exploration of greed, loneliness, marriage, poverty and the desire for security. First published in 1923, the novel is regarded as one of Bennett’s major works and presents a darker, more intimate portrait of urban life than his earlier novels.
