Arthur And George by Julian Barnes
The novel delves into the lives of two very different men at the turn of the 20th century in England: Arthur, a celebrated writer with a penchant for spiritualism, and George, a reserved solicitor of half-Indian descent who becomes embroiled in a notorious legal case. When George is wrongfully accused and convicted of a series of crimes, Arthur becomes intrigued by his plight and is compelled to use his detective skills to unravel the truth. Their stories converge as Arthur seeks to restore George's reputation in a society rife with prejudice and injustice, exploring themes of identity, the legal system, and the complexities of human character.
