The Way of All Flesh by Samuel Butler
Five generations of the Pontifex family - old John, carpenter and organ maker - George, publisher who achieves wealth - Theobald, rigid minister - Ernest (main character) who leaves the ministry - prison - tailor shop - alcoholic wife - gift from aunt - writer of controversial literature - paid family to raise his children. Basically a study of father/son relationship and changing role of church in nineteenth century England.
