Description
Michaelmas term, 1940. 18-year-old John Kemp has come down from Lancashire to Oxford University to begin his scholarship studying English. But when he invents an imaginary sister to win the attention of a rich but unreliable 'friend', and then falls in love for real, undergraduate life becomes its own strange world . 'Absolutely contemporary - perhaps even prophetic.' Joyce Carol Oates 'Remarkable . A book about innocence.' Simon Garfield 'A cryptic literary manifesto [about] discovering a literary personality, and the consolation art can provide.' Andrew Motion
