| Summary | "The Corner of Harley Street" by Sir H. H. Bashford is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around Peter Harding, a physician, as he reflects on his life and practice through a series of letters addressed to various friends and family. The story captures the intersections of personal and professional life, highlighting themes of medicine, human relationships, and the contrast between urban and rural existence. The beginning of the book introduces Peter Harding as he responds to letters from his friends and family, each revealing snippets of his character, thoughts, and the milieu he inhabits. In these initial letters, he expresses a blend of humor, nostalgia, and insight as he interacts with his loved ones, discussing fishing trips, the challenges of his medical practice, and reflections on youth and age. The writing style is conversational and rich with observations about life, setting the tone for a thoughtful exploration of Harding’s experiences and the complexities of his professional world.
