Howard, a lecturer at the old red-brick Beaufort College, Cambridge, has made a comfortable life of teaching, dining in Hall and keeping his feelings at a distance. A growing restlessness, visits to the house at Windlow and a friendship with a young woman there force him to ask whether his careful existence has been a life at all.
A quiet, closely observed novel of university life and late love by the essayist who wrote the words of Land of Hope and Glory. Download the free EPUB.
