Regardless of intent, his change of heart has a devastating effect on his personal and professional relationships. Alfred is a sly and charismatic auctioneer's clerk, who uses embellishments and half-truths to maintain his job. One day he comes across a random plant in an old house and eats some of its fruit. Once ingested, it has a dramatic physical and mental effect. Alfred can suddenly see the world through a clear, unfiltered lens. His interests drastically change. He alters his appearance. His speech is more direct and sincere. Yet, things that he once loved, now repulse him-including his family. The Double Life of Mr. Alfred Burton has an intriguing premise that tests the limits of morality. It explores the concept of brutal honesty and how it can be just as damaging as deceit. E. Phillips Oppenheim provides a unique plot device that forces the character and reader to face this dilemma. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Double Life of Mr. Alfred Burton is both modern and readable.
