Book
Engleby
Mike Engleby arrives at an elite English university in the 1970s carrying the habits of a harsher education and a sharp awareness of class. Intelligent, isolated and relentlessly observant, he becomes fascinated by fellow student Jennifer Arkland and inserts himself at the edges of her social world.
When Jennifer disappears, Engleby’s apparently confident account begins to reveal gaps, distortions and buried memories. Following him from university into journalism and adult life, the novel turns a campus mystery into a study of self-deception, social mobility and the unreliability of a narrator who understands almost everything except himself.
