Set against the backdrop of Edwardian Oxford, this novel offers a satirical take on undergraduate life, exploring themes of love and mortality. The narrative follows Zuleika, a captivating woman who disrupts the lives of the male students, leading to absurd and tragic consequences. With its sharp wit and memorable lines, such as "Death cancels all engagements," the book critiques the frivolity and pretensions of the time, making it a unique commentary on youth and the ephemeral nature of desire.
