A buyer's market

Nicholas Jenkins navigates the shifting social landscapes of 1920s London, moving from elite ballrooms to the city's bohemian underbelly. As he encounters old school acquaintances like the ambitious Widmerpool and the reckless Stringham, he begins to understand the complex, often harsh realities of adult life. This second installment of Powell's sequence captures a generation drifting through a world of art, politics, and changing social mores.
