"Lady Lilith" by Stephen McKenna is a story happening after college, focusing on young guys figuring out their lives with ambition, relationships, and how they fit into society. A key character is Lady Barbara Neave, a viceroy's daughter, who looks for fun and doing her own thing, which is different from her friends who are more traditional. The book starts with the Phoenix Club, a group of friends talking about what they want in life at a goodbye dinner; the characters are at Oxford and the conversations show their hopes as well as potential problems ahead. Eric Lane wants to be a journalist, and Jack Waring is not worried about becoming a lawyer, and the mood is hopeful but also a little worried about who will do well or not in the future.
