Title : The Stranger's Child - Alan Hollinghurst - Book
Summary :
It all begins in 1913, in the garden of the Sawle family's Middlesex country house. A Cambridge student, the shy George Sawle has invited one of his classmates, the aristocratic and enigmatic Cecil Valance, to the Two Acres. These days in the family home and the poem they inspire in Cecil will change their destiny. And even more so that of Daphne, George's sister. In this spring, when nothing heralds the imminent upheavals of history, a pact is secretly formed between the three young people, the starting point for a striking fresco spanning the 20th century, by one of the greatest contemporary English novelists.
A vast novel that you have to let yourself sink into. You come away dazzled like never before. Alexandre Fillon, Livres-hebdo. Welcome to the vertigo of time and the whims of memory. Emily Barnett, Les Inrockuptibles.
