Beyond the City

‘Beyond the City’ is a short story by Sherlock Holmes author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, first published in 1892. Set in the changing world of London during the latter stages of the 19th century, the story is a departure from Conan Doyle’s usual literary themes of mystery and adventure, and instead is a story of four families and their intertwining lives. Romance, wealth, women’s suffrage, and family all feature in this delightful short story from the popular author.
