Dice Lashmore will do everything he can in in his quest to become rich. The key is, of course, finding a rich wife. This book describes his numerous courtships of women. It also describes the moral decline of a man who has only one goal, and how other people react to it. This book is about courtship, but also about values. It raises questions like: do modern values of feminism and choice still hold? Do everybody who claims to believe in them really believes, and, of course, what if not? - Summary by Stav Nisser (13 hr 43 min)

Love George gissing books. Narrator seems to be reading in a ‘stream of consciousness’ style, which makes it very difficult for the listener who has to concentrate so hard on narrators’ voice to keep up with the speed of reading that it becomes exhausting.
