Whom God Hath Sundered (1910-1913) is a trilogy by Oliver Onions, published towards the beginning of his career as a leading novelist and short story writer specializing in genre fiction. The trilogy is largely unknown and considered a forgotten classic by British literary critic Martin Seymour-Smith. The first installment, In Accordance With the Evidence, is as much the story of James Jeffries as it is of Archie Merridew. Jeffries, who was "atrociously poor" in those days, is a young man whose every opportunity seems to have been ordained at birth. His folks lived in Guildford, his father paid his rent for him, and his pleasant quarters under the roof had everything that mine hadn't.
As their story unfolds, Jeffries falls for the beautiful Evie Soames, but jealousy and competition with Archie threaten to derail his every move. Unhappy with his low-paying work and unlucky in love, Jeffries begins to resent Archie with a near-violent passion. When Archie becomes engaged to Evie, Jeffries is left with no choice. As he looks back on his life from the distance of a dozen or more years, he recounts his path from hardship to murder, laying bare the psychological traumas that led him to commit his crime.
In parts two and three, The Debit Account and The Story of Louie, we see the consequences of his heinous act unfold. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Oliver Onions' Whom God Hath Sundered is a classic of British literature reimagined for modern readers.
