“Paul Kelver” is believed to be an autobiographical novel. Perhaps because it was so much “from the heart”, Jerome considered it to be his best work.

Paul, a shy young boy with loving parents, lives through hard times and better times; then he is left orphaned and penniless in his late teens and must make his own way in the world. Writing in first-person, the narrator sets forth his flaws and foibles with unabashed honesty. There are tales of love and loss; episodes of nostalgia and sadness; even moments of darkness and terror; but much of the eBook is permeated with a wonderful dry humor. (The chapter titles, couched in old-fashioned language, add a lovely touch.) This eBook is a must-read for Jerome fans.
