Book description
Rodmoor is, unusually for a John Cowper Powys novel, set in East
Anglia, Rodmoor itself being a coastal village. The protagonist,
Adrian Sorio, is a typically Powys-like hero, highly-strung with only
precarious mental stability. He is in love with two women - Nance
Herrick and the more unconventional Phillipa Renshaw. This was Powys
second novel, published in 1916. It deploys a rich and memorable cast
of characters.
