I've been reading Wells's 1905 novel Kipps, about a lower-class young man who unexpectedly inherits a small fortune and sets himself to learn respectability. It's one of those very readable Edwardian tales and was a popular success.
Here's a place to discuss this and other such books by Wells, but not his science fiction or nonfiction except incidentally. There's also Mr. Britling Sees It Through, Ann Veronica, The New Machiavelli, and perhaps others.
