In twelve letters to an American friend, the newly qualified doctor Stark Munro describes his struggle to set up a practice in the early 1880s. Much of it turns on Cullingworth, a brilliant, brawling former college athlete who invites Munro into a booming medical practice, then turns against him, leaving Munro to start again alone and nearly penniless.
