This is the End

Meer over het boek

Set against the backdrop of post-World War I London, the story explores themes of identity and social class through the lives of siblings Jay and Kew. Jay escapes her restrictive life in the countryside to embrace a new identity in the working-class environment of Hackney, while Kew, returning from the war, grapples with his own disillusionment. Their journey of self-discovery and the bond forged by shared tragedy reflect the cultural upheaval of the era, all conveyed through Benson's introspective prose.
