More about the book

Set in early 1900s Cambridge, Massachusetts, the narrative follows college students Fanshaw and Cham as they navigate their relationships with chorus girls Phoebe and her friend. Despite Fanshaw's initial reluctance, he joins Cham on a seemingly innocent double date filled with canoeing and picnicking. As the day unfolds, Fanshaw grapples with feelings of disillusionment and societal expectations, reflecting on class, gender, and the conflict between tradition and modernity. The novel captures both a specific era and universal themes of love, loss, and personal struggle.
