Pies and Beer, or A Skeleton in the Closet. A Small Nook
At the center of the narrative of the novel “Pies and Beer, or A Skeleton in the Closet” is the fate of the famous English writer Edward Driffield, whose creative path was contradictory and thorny. At the dawn of his...
career, he was regarded as an artless realist, despised by the whole town and rejected by the literary community, but at the end of his life, he became a recognized classic. Does this prove that a writer is not just a profession, but a special way of thinking and acting? The story described in the novel “A Small Nook” stretched from the shores of China to the ports of Australia. Doctor Saunders is forced to embark on a journey with two untrustworthy strangers: the treacherous Captain Nichols and Fred, an Australian with a dark past. Due to a strong storm, the trio is compelled to take shelter on one of the tropical islands, where they meet the good-natured Eric Christensen and his fiancée, the cold and beautiful Louisa. It is in this paradise in the middle of the Pacific Ocean that the sea journey transforms into a journey through human souls.
