Overlooked

Maurice Baring

eBook - 2015

Maurice Baring pushes the limits of narrative fiction in this classic novella. The first part of the tale follows the recovery of a sight-impaired gentleman named Anthony Key, who has retreated to a convalescent resort on his doctor's orders. There, he encounters a number of interesting characters, including a frustrated novelist and a beguiling young woman. In the second half of the story, the novelist creates a fictionalized version of the hotel's community of residents.
