The story takes place on a November evening in Keith Darrant's study, where he sits asleep in an old brown velvet coat and red Turkish slippers.

The novel is a character study of Keith Darrant, who is a successful barrister but also a man who is deeply unhappy in his personal life.

The book is a poignant exploration of love, duty, and morality, set against the backdrop of early 20th-century England. 'The First and the Last' is a timeless classic that continues to resonate with readers today.
