Summary: "Roland Whately: A Novel" by Alec Waugh is a coming-of-age fiction work written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers on the titular character, Roland Whately, as he navigates the complexities of adolescence, friendships, and romantic relationships while attending a boarding school. The story vividly explores themes of youthful innocence, the awkwardness of burgeoning love, and the social dynamics among boys and girls during this transformative stage of life. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Roland as he returns to school from holiday on a train. Through his thoughts and interactions, we learn that he is eager to secure his desired dormitory space and the excitement of a new term. However, his plans are quickly interrupted when he meets Howard, a senior student, leading to a chance encounter with a group of girls in a local park. This moment highlights both Roland's desire for acceptance and social proving, as well as foreshadows a complicated relationship with a girl named April, whom he has fond memories of. The opening sets the stage for Roland's internal struggles as he grapples with his identity, peer relationships, and burgeoning romantic aspirations, providing a glimpse into the intricate world of adolescence.
