Lewis Percy (Paperback, New ed)

Studying the role of the hero in the French novel, Lewis Percy's own life is far from heroic. When his mother dies, leaving him bereft and clueless, he decides to marry the meek, agoraphobic librarian Tissy, as much to save himself as to protect her. When their marriage shatters, however, Lewis discovers that he is to be offered a second chance to transform his life.
