The main character is a British diplomat, Cyril Tudor, who hates his job and the worldly society surrounding him, but at the same time cannot deny himself a passion for luxurious evenings and balls. The story unfolds around one of these techniques - the ball, which has become the best place for revealing social sins, tricks and secrets.
Through a sophisticated action plot, the author successfully recreates the atmosphere of the time, revealing the darkest sides of human nature and exacerbating the problems of relationships in a highly privileged society. A Funeral Ball is a book that leaves the reader mixed with emotions and always has something new to discover and discuss.
