Totally different in style, and content, this is a coming of age novel about a group of friends at Oxford together, and two in particular, James the narrator and Mark (with whom he has a very destructive relationship).
Mark has a vast fortune of inherited wealth, but is also deeply traumatised by, possibly an incestuous relationship with this mother (although not his birth mother) so maybe this is not incestuous.
James and his friends all couple up but live together in a somewhat gothic mansion owned by Mark’s family in Summertown. They are all to an extent obsessed with Mark, but none more so than James.
