Set against the backdrop of Edwardian Oxford, the novel features Zuleika Dobson, a captivating femme fatale and magician who becomes a sensation among the male students. Her beauty inspires obsessive love, particularly from the emotionally detached Duke of Dorset, who, after being rejected, decides to commit suicide to demonstrate the destructive power of her allure. This sparks a wave of similar sentiments among the other students, leading to a tragic and satirical examination of love and obsession in a privileged society.
