Edward Manners - thirty three and disaffected- escapes to a Flemish city in search of a new life. Almost at once he falls in love with the seventeen year old Luc, and is introduced t o the twilight world of the 1890s Belgian painter Edgard Orst. This is highly cerebral and yet highly readable, with lashings of sex and a secret waiting to be uncovered. Also check out his other books, including the Man Booker Prize-winning The Line of Beauty.
