Publisher's Summary

To Porterhouse College, Cambridge, famous for rowing, low academic standards. and a proud cuisine, comes a new Master, an ex-grammar-school boy, demanding Firsts, women students, a self-service canteen, and a slot-machine for contraceptives. There is considerable opposition to this challenge to the established order, in the form of Skullion, the intransigent porter at Porterhouse, who is determined that the hallowed traditions of the College will never change.

Quintessentially British

The storyline and the style of narration does transport one to the British Isles. It’s not for everyone though. The writing is dry and the plot takes a while to develop. If someone is in the market for a slow meandering novel with a dark sense of humour, it would be my recommendation.
