My first impression of him was not sweetened with his casual Victorian-era anti-Semitism. He struck me, at first, as the kind of useless, rich man who likes to get his way. He feels even more put upon because his blustering older brother demands that he marry a woman he’s never met before. He’s used to having fun and feels very put upon having to work as a junior clerk at the family bank. He’s a child of privilege who’s never had to work very hard in his life. Thomas Thresher is the sort of person who, if I met him in real life, I would have nothing to do with. If you have not used Zoom before, you may consider referencing Getting Started with Zoom.

His childhood friend has died under mysterious circumstances. His elder brother may be sabotaging the family's bank. Join us in via Zoom as we celebrate the release of David Liss's new bookThe Peculiarities with a discussion between between David and Robert Rivard, the founder and editor of the nonprofit San Antonio Report.Ībout The Peculiarities: Thomas's problems are more serious than those of a typical young Victorian gentleman.
