George is enthralled by Cecil, and soon his sister, Daphne, is equally besotted by him. That weekend, Cecil writes a poem that, after he is killed in the Great War and his reputation burnished, will become a touchstone for a generation, a work recited by every schoolchild in England. Over time, a tragic love story is spun, even as other secrets lie buried--until, decades later, an ambitious biographer threatens to unearth them.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eALAN HOLLINGHURST is the author of the novels \u003ci\u003eThe Stranger's Child, The Swimming-Pool Library, The Folding Star, The Spell\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Line of Beauty, \u003c\/i\u003e which won the Man Booker Prize and was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award.
