Description
In their last summer term at Oxford four students come together
Patrick, keen on 'causes' and safe (so far) from women; Alison, uneasy in her role as adoring disciple to her manipulative tutor; Charlotte, sceptic and feminist with a nice line in wit; and Tyrone, keeper of a terrible secret concerning the death of his best friend.
As Finals approach, they find themselves learning as much about life as literature. Learning, in fact, about comedy, tragedy and even death, in Clare Chambers's startlingly accomplished and engaging first novel.
