The Way of All Flesh

**Description:** A semi-autobiographical novel tracing the Pontifex family across generations, centering on Ernest Pontifex's strained relationship with his clergyman father and his struggle against Victorian religious and social convention. It suits adult readers interested in classic English literature and critiques of Victorian family life. **A note for cataloguing:** The supplied metadata appears inaccurate for this title. *The Way of All Flesh* is an adult literary classic, not a children's book, and it was first published in 1903 (posthumously)—the year 2000 likely refers to a reprint edition rather than first publication. I've written the description to reflect the actual work; please verify these fields before finalizing the record.
