Miriam Henderson, working in a London dental practice and living in a Bloomsbury lodging house, agrees to help a young Russian lodger, Michael Shatov, with his English. Their lessons become a long argument about books, religion, England and what a woman’s mind is for, and slowly something more personal.
The sixth volume of Pilgrimage, a landmark of modernist fiction that rewards readers who already know Miriam. Download the free EPUB.
