The book focuses on the author's impressions and reflections on a bygone generation, particularly from his perspective as a youth navigating through educational institutions such as Westminster School and later, Oxford University. It delves into themes of memory, social and political change, and the evolution of ideas shaped by historical events, particularly the impact of World War I. The opening of the memoir sets the stage for McKenna's exploration of life at Westminster School during the early 20th century. It describes the atmosphere on Election Sunday, showcasing the transition of students from adolescence into adulthood, punctuated by rituals and traditions that reflect both academic pursuits and social customs. The narrative hints at a sense of nostalgia, as McKenna reflects on the significance of these formative years amid a changing social landscape. Through his observations, he begins to establish a contrast between the educational experiences of his generation and the broader implications of societal shifts brought about by a world deeply affected by war.
