Ivy Compton-Burnett, known for her unique dialogue-heavy style, presents a satirical exploration of Victorian institutions in her second novel. Set in a boys' preparatory school post-World War I, the narrative critiques masculine authority and female subservience while examining the concept of success through novel authorship. This short work showcases her acerbic wit and distinct literary voice, marking the beginning of her acclaimed career that would span 19 novels and establish her as a literary iconoclast.
