Touchstone of Life Unlocks a Writer's Fame in Norfolk
In a sunlit Norfolk voyage tale, Mayne, a barrister turned writer, discovers that Dick Wallenger’s unfinished novel is a literary gem. Mayne contemplates fame, defers revealing authorship, and rescues Violet Carlton after a river accident. After peril and confession, Violet learns Mayne wrote The Touchstone of Life, they marry, and Wallenger’s manuscript earns lasting renown.
