Love may be mute, but the heart is never blind.

Aldous Huxley’s Crome Yellow re-imagined.

A shy young poet goes to a house party at Crome hellbent on wooing his hosts’ niece, only to find that a dashing, if jaded, painter has arrived first. Spurned by the woman he ardently pursues, Denis grapples with the fickleness of desire and discovers that one’s true soulmate may be hiding in clear view.

VIRGINITY is a universal story of first love amid alienation. Huxley, writing in the aftermath of the Great War, depicts a generation rent by loss and primed to break free of social constraints. Amid a crossfire of wayward pheromones and barbed repartee, a young deaf woman emerges as the mute voice of wisdom and our poet protagonist's redeeming love.
