Jacob's Room

Más información sobre el libro

Exploring themes of love, loss, and the impact of war, the narrative follows Jacob from his childhood in pre-war England through his college years at Cambridge and into adulthood. The story unfolds primarily through the eyes of significant women in his life, including the repressed Clara Durrant and the free-spirited art student Florinda, with whom he shares an affair. As Jacob's life progresses, his experiences in London and travels to Italy and Greece shape his journey, culminating in his death in the war, poignantly depicted by the emptiness he leaves behind.
