It concerns the life and times of Caryl Bramsley (the 'C' of the title), literary scion of a late Victorian family, with prodigious details of his education and explorations amongst literature, and his relationship with a number of young women, especially a married femme fatale. There will be those who feel that he could have done with a good kick. Nonetheless, strangely fascinating. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Baring's homage to a decadent and carefree Edwardian age depicts a society as yet untainted by the traumas and complexities of twentieth-century living. With wit and subtlety a happy picture is drawn of family life, house parties in the country and a leisured existence clouded only by the rumblings of the Boer War. Against this spectacle Caryl Bramsley (the C of the title) is presented - a young man of terrific promise but scant achievement, whose tragic-comic tale offsets the privileged milieu.
