Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Coniston — Volume 02" by Winston Churchill is a novel published in 1906. Set in New Hampshire's political landscape, the story revolves around power broker Jethro Bass, a character based on real politician Ruel Durkee. Churchill drew from his own experience as a state legislator to craft this tale of political influence and corruption in small-town America. The novel became the year's bestseller, sparking controversy when a former senator defended Durkee's reputation. Readers recognized real New Hampshire locations thinly disguised in Churchill's fictional world.
