Description
An encounter with an anarchic young artist changes the life of a revered Cambridge art historian – intellectually powerful but inexperienced in life and love – in this alluring and profoundly moving bildungsroman set against the backdrop of 1990s London.
An exquisite debut novel. A mid-life coming-of-age story charting one man's sexual awakening and his spectacular fall from grace in 1990s London. For fans of Allan Hollinghurst and Edward St Aubyn.
Exiled from his university position for an inexcusable blunder, art historian Don Lamb flees to London, a city alive with sex and creativity. There, over the course of a long, hot summer, as he is immersed in the anarchic art and gay scenes of the mid-90s, Don sees his carefully curated life irrevocably changed.
But his epiphany is also a reckoning, as his unexamined past is revealed to him in a devastating new light.
