Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
David, a young American in 1950s Paris, is waiting for his fiancée to return from vacation in Spain. But when he meets Giovanni, a handsome Italian barman, the two men are drawn into an intense affair. After three months David's fiancée returns and, denying his sexuality, he rejects Giovanni for a 'safe' future as a married man — a decision that will bring tragedy, longing and regret.

Captivating
Beautifully written. Poetic and melancholy. This left me feeling like I’d been a part of something important yet also a little unsure of how I felt about it. This is truly before its time and yet exactly what was needed to read by many. Narration was perfect
