Lord of the World: a review
Thank you!
Online sources give me so many interpretations of tribulation novels!
So I hoped to finetune the search term by an added specification, such as might the tribulation novels -- of which Lord of the world is ancestral -- be ...

Might your artisanal-food son rely upon a Beswick family recipe that Veronica might use?
