Second String (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

by Anthony Hope

Overview

A portrait of early twentieth-century English life, Second String tells the engrossing story of Vivian Wellgood and her fiancé, Harry Belfield, who is on the threshold of a brilliant political career. A sense of reckoning permeates the novel, as Belfield’s stature begins to decline while that of an admiring follower—a man of the people—begins to rise.
