Elderly Logan Mountstuart recalls his life as recorded in his many journals. In 1926 as an Oxford student he is keen to race his friends Peter and Ben to losing their virginity but the feisty socialist Land Fothergill seeks only his intellectual companionship so he spends illicit Sunday afternoons with Peter's girlfriend Tess,until she winds up pregnant and marries Peter. Whilst promising his dying father and Uruguayan mother he will carry on the family tinned meat trade he longs to write and,after meeting Ernest Hemingway in Paris,publishes a sexy best-seller 'The Girl Factory' though Land believes it beneath him and marries a Labour M.P.,herself standing for parliament. On the rebound he marries aristocrat's daughter Lottie and they have a son,Lionel,but the marriage soon proves to be a mistake and,when in 1936,Logan goes to cover the Spanish Civil War,it is not Lottie who sees him off but the alluring BBC journalist Freya Deverell,who is carrying his child.
