The novel chronicles the life its hero Christopher Tietjens, "the last Tory," a government-employed statistician from a wealthy land-owning family who is serving in the British Army during World War I. Tietjens may or may not be the father of the child of his wife, Sylvia, who seems intent on ruining him. Meanwhile, Tietjens affair with Valentine Wannop, a high-spirited sufragette, has not been consumated, despite what all their friends believe. Much of the novel is spent with Tietjens in French trenches as he ruminates on how to be a better soldier and untangle his strange social life. |
