false 48203 12 <div><div>On the eve of his move to a new, more desirable residence, Professor Godfrey St Peter finds himself in the shabby study of his former home. Surrounded by the comforting, familiar sights of his past, he surveys his life and the people he has loved&#8212;his wife Lillian, his daughters, and Tom Outland, his most outstanding student and once, his son-in-law to be. Enigmatic and courageous&#8212;and a tragic victim of the Great War&#8212;Tom has remained a source of inspiration to the professor. But he has also left behind him a troubling legacy which has brought betrayal and fracture to the women he loves most.</div></div> 342924 1925 The Professor's House (Virago Modern Classics) total:1014|5:235|4:384|3:310|2:75|1:10| 1014 3801 1451 100 48203 1844083764 9781844083763 848 76 3.75 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170351201m/48203.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/48203.The_Professor_s_House 5 1 false Sat Mar 08 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sun Jul 27 18:55:52 -0700 2008 Fri Aug 15 18:32:46 -0700 2008 more...]]> 48203 1844083764 9781844083763 848 76 3.75 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170351201m/48203.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/48203.The_Professor_s_House 5 2 false Wed Jun 25 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Jun 09 08:46:12 -0700 2008 Wed Jun 25 17:01:32 -0700 2008
