Description

Adam is a sixteen-year-old who spends his spare time practising the cello. But, there is another side to him, which comes to the fore when he falls for a labourer called Sylvain and realises that friendships have the potential to be more than platonic. This is a story of illicit romance and teenage angst over one summer in the French countryside.

Reviews

McDonald's beautifully descriptive prose is sensual and evocative - GCN Enough charm to keep you entertained throughout - 3 Sixty A warm, almost poetic tilt that makes this book an enjoyable treat - Rainbow Network A romantic, atmospheric tale of sexual awakening, with a keen sense of character and location - Boyz A thoughtful and compassionate novel about the infuriating and painful confusion between love and sex... A fine and elegantly written work deserving a wide readership regardless of sexual orientation - What's On UK
