Summary

Alan Hollinghurst: The Stranger's Child

In the summer of 1913, George Sawle brings to his modest bourgeois home for a weekend Cecil Valance, a friend with whom he studies at Cambridge, a magnetically attractive nobleman with poetic inclinations.

In an autograph album collected by George's sister Daphne, after Cecil's departure, his poem entitled Two Mornings will be discovered. After Cecil was killed in 1916 on the first day of the Battle of the Somme, these verses would acquire and long retain the status of a supreme pastoral-patriotic poem.

In addition to leaving behind that poem that weekend, actually one of the drafts for it, Cecil then practiced homoerotic relations with George on several occasions and, by contrast, six years older than her, became infatuated with sixteen-year-old Daphne.

Hollinghurst confirmed himself in this novel as well. a brilliant chronicler of an era, a great erudite and one of the greatest stylists of contemporary British literature.
