The book introduces William Tully, a mild-mannered clerk who undergoes a transformative journey into social reform following the death of his controlling mother. His newfound independence propels him into the world of political activism, where he grapples with identity, purpose, and social justice amidst the early stirrings of the First World War. At the start of the story, we meet William Tully, a timid clerk who has lived under the thumb of his assertive mother until her sudden death leaves him with unexpected financial freedom. Initially overwhelmed, William feels a rush of possibilities regarding his future as he befriends Faraday, a fellow clerk who is deeply involved in socialist movements. Their conversation reveals William’s yearning to break free from his mundane life and find meaning in social activism. The tone shifts from personal grief to a broader commentary on societal issues, setting the stage for William's emergence as a political figure just as global tensions escalate into conflict. The opening captures a pivotal moment in his life, promising a journey that will merge personal growth with political awakening. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
