Hepplestall's

This work of fiction set primarily against the backdrop of Regency England chronicles the lives of two men forever at odds and forever rivals. Sir Harry Whitworth is the very picture of landed gentry: idle vain and capable of the most base behaviour that Society gladly tolerates. Reuben Hepplestall is the rebellious outsider determined to show the world he is as worthy of respect as any peer of the realm. Though different each man resorts to ambitious often ruthless tactics to achieve their goals and neither they nor their families will ever be the same again. At once a biting indictment of the old guard and an examination the English class system Hepplestall's is the story of two families at odds against the backdrop of the industrial revolution and the birth of unions in England. Written by the author of Hobson's Choice this is a faithful reproduction of the 1922 version.
