In October 1940, the handsome young David Sparsholt arrives in
Oxford. A keen athlete and oarsman, he at first seems unaware of
the effect he has on others - particularly on the lonely and
romantic Evert Dax, son of a celebrated novelist and destined to
become a writer himself. While the Blitz rages in London, Oxford
exists at a strange remove: an ephemeral, uncertain place, in which
nightly blackouts conceal secret liaisons.Over the course of one
momentous term, David and Evert forge an unlikely friendship that
will colour their lives for decades to come . . .Alan
Hollinghurst's masterly new novel evokes the intimate relationships
of a group of friends bound together by art, literature and love
across three generations. It explores the social and sexual
revolutions of the most pivotal years of the past century, whose
life-changing consequences are still being played out to this day.
Richly observed, disarmingly witty and emotionally charged, The
Sparsholt Affair is an unmissable achievement from one of our
finest writers.
