The Memorial tells the story of two generations struggling to break from the shadow of World War I.
Lily, the war widow, lives in a past of romantic love and social order. Her son Eric seeks to expiate his father's death by working in a Boys' Club in the East End. Edward, his father's best friend, has survived the war but is crippled by his half-expressed homosexuality, while Maurice, at Cambridge, laughs and flirts with death ...
Their pretensions and self-deceptions are satirized and exposed, but there is compassion in this portrait of a family entering the strange new world of the post-war era. With the same wit and lightness of touch with which he created Berlin in the thirties, so Christopher Isherwood brings to life the quite different world of England in the twenties.
