Tasker Jevons- The Real Story

In this captivating wartime masterpiece by May Sinclair, the dashing newsman Walter Furnival is the epitome of charm handsome, successful, athletic, and intelligent—a true gentleman. In stark contrast, Tasker Jevons is a diminutive, ridiculous-looking sports writer, lacking any conventional social grace. The story takes a twist when Viola Thesiger, Furnivals enchanting young typist and love interest, inexplicably chooses the bumbling Jevons as her partner, drawn to an extraordinary inner beauty that only she—and the begrudgingly admiring Furnival—can see. Yet, the heart of this extraordinary narrative lies not with Jevons, but with Viola, a rebellious feminist determined to break free from the suffocating conformity of her upbringing. As she boldly sets out to sever ties with her cloistered past, their unconventional trio faces an unexpected upheaval when the Great War intrudes upon their lives.
