Four generations of an English family raise their sons on religious duty and respectability, until the grandson is jailed, disowned and finally freed by a secret inheritance that lets him walk away from his family's hypocrisy for good.

All animals, except man, know that the principal business of life is to enjoy it.
Way of All Flesh, Samuel Butler
