"After the Manner of Men" is a novel written by Francis Lind. This book reveals to the reader the life of American society at the beginning of the 20th century. The main character, at first glance, seems to be a typical representative of the bourgeois environment, but in the course of events, he turns out to be far from what he seemed from the outside. Lind successfully emphasizes the internal struggle and contradictions that can operate in the heart of every person, regardless of social status. The novel "According to human custom" captivates from the first lines and leaves a feeling of openness and unpredictability of life.
