dissolution""of a tradition-bound English family. On the cusp of
adulthood, ""the Cambridge student Eric Vernon finds himself torn
between""his desire to emulate his heroic father, who led a life of
quiet sacrifice""before dying in the war, and his envy of his
father's roguish""friend who survived the war and afterward threw
himself into""gay life.
" "
