Summary "Lady Lilith" by Stephen McKenna is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story appears to follow a group of young men post-Oxford, exploring their ambitions, relationships, and the dynamics of their social lives as they transition into adulthood. Central to this narrative is the character of Lady Barbara Neave, the daughter of a viceroy, who seems to embody the pursuit of excitement and self-expression, contrasting with her more conventional peers. The opening of the book introduces the character dynamics within the Phoenix Club, a fictional group of friends reflecting on their futures amidst a backdrop of student life in Oxford. Conversations at a farewell dinner delve into personal ambitions, foreshadowing potential struggles ahead as the members contemplate their fates in both love and career. The scene sets a tone of introspection while establishing friendships and rivalries, particularly highlighting Eric Lane's aspirations in journalism and Jack Waring’s nonchalant approach towards a future in law, culminating in the group's collective optimism tempered with a sense of impending doom as they ponder who among them will succeed—or perhaps fail—in this new chapter of life.
