N2  - Modernisation, in the form of electricity and the overspill from London, confronts the inhabitants of the small English village of Little Burgelstatham in the richly textured The adaptable man. While some amongst the large cast of characters prefer to live in the past and avoid modern life, others adapt and welcome its arrival, not least Muriel Baldry who can now hang her Venini chandelier and throw a dinner party to celebrate. But does adapting to the twentieth century demand darker deeds?
