About this listen

Step into the richly layered world of Aldous Huxleys Crome Yellow, a captivating satire that brilliantly captures the essence of Lady Ottoline Morrells iconic bohemian gatherings. This novel is not easily pigeonholed; it intertwines sharp irony with a deeply human love story, revealing poignant social commentary beneath its playful surface. Follow Denis Stone, a young poet infatuated with the enchanting Anne Wimbush, as they escape to Priscilla Wimbushs Crome estate for a few weeks of artistic exploration. Amidst their romantic entanglement, Denis overhears thought-provoking conversations about war, society, sex, art, and love that not only foreshadow Huxley’s later dystopian work, Brave New World, but also hint at the ominous shadows of another European conflict. Crome Yellow, Huxleys debut novel, is a treasure trove of early intellectual themes that beckons to be read and appreciated in its own right. - Summary by Expatriate
