The Egoist by George Meredith
A convoluted plot of betrothals and break ups but primarily a psychological study of the various characters, most particularly the egotist. Well written but slow reading
Five stars for "Modern Love"; minus a star for everything else.
Perfect Condition with exception of name on front page. $10 on Abe
