This is The Talented Mr Ripley for the twenty-first century.' Emma Flint, author of Little Deaths'An enjoyable dip into decadence.' Observer__________________________Brothers Benjamin and Edgar have so far led a quiet life, but change is afoot as they enter a world of glorious sights and People of Quality on their Grand Tour of Europe. But a trunk full of powdered silver wigs and matching suits isn't enough to embed them into high society. As Edgar clings on to conventions, Benjamin pushes against them. And when the charming, seductive Horace Lavelle promises Benjamin a real adventure, it's only a matter of time before chaos and love ensue. __________________________'A fizzing, seductive queer romance.' i Paper'Wildly entertaining and painfully heartbreaking ...
