A.N. Wilson chronicles the unravelling of a prominent public figure whose carefully constructed reputation is laid bare by a compromising relationship with a woman named Priscilla, whose particular brand of kindness proves ruinous. With a tone that balances mordant wit with genuine psychological insight, Wilson illustrates how swiftly respectability can crumble beneath the pressures of desire, hypocrisy, and public scrutiny. The novel presents a razor-sharp dissection of the English establishment — its pretensions, its moral double standards, and its appetite for downfall — making it essential reading for fans of Evelyn Waugh and Anthony Powell.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956360163547,"sku":"2026200008498-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/a799cce9-f73e-4206-8996-5164aecbb0fa.png?v=1783500230","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200008498-secondhand-scandal-or-priscillas-kindness","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
