The Whirlpool (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

Harvey Rolfe lives quietly on his modest inheritance at the fringe of London’s social and commercial life, but tumultuous events bring Alma Frothingham into his orbit. Their contentment doesn’t last long. Harvey’s inability to see Alma as merely selfish rather than an emancipated “new woman,” turns this story into a tale of a marriage poisoned by sexual jealousy and deceit.
