When Philip Carey’s parents pass away he is sent to live with his Aunt Louisa and Uncle William, a vicar. Because of his club foot and his odd childhood, Philip has trouble fitting in at school, and passes up a scholarship at Oxford to try and make his own way. He tries an apprenticeship, and pursues a career as a painter, before finally settling on a career in medicine. But nothing is ever simple for Philip Carey, and the often banal realities of real life confound him at every turn.
