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
