The Last Enchantments is a powerfully moving and lyrically
written novel. A young American embarks on a year at Oxford
and has an impassioned affair that will change his life forever
After graduating from Yale, William Baker, scion of an old
line patrician family, goes to work in presidential
politics. But when the campaign into which he's poured his
heart ends in disappointment, he decides to leave New York
behind, along with the devoted, ambitious, and
well-connected woman he’s been in love with for the last
four years.
Will expects nothing more than a year off before resuming
the comfortable life he's always known, but he's soon caught
up in a whirlwind of unexpected friendships and romantic
entanglements that threaten his safe plans. As he explores
the heady social world of Oxford, he becomes fast friends
with Tom, his snobbish but affable flat mate; Anil, an
Indian economist with a deep love for gangster rap;
Anneliese, a German historian obsessed with photography; and
Timmo, whose chief ambition is to become a reality
television star. What he's least prepared for is Sophie, a
witty, beautiful and enigmatic woman who makes him question
everything he knows about himself.
Charles Finch's The Last Enchantments is a sweeping novel
about love and loss that redefines what it means to grow up
as an American in the twenty-first century.
