A 33-year-old man, disaffected and in search of a new life, goes to
an ancient Flemish city to teach English. The novel follows his
infatuation with a pupil, and his subsequent affairs. It is a dark
tale of unrequited gay love and sexual obsession. This was
shortlisted for the 1994 Booker Prize. (Kirkus UK)
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 seventeen-year-old Luc, and is introduced to the twilight world of the 1890s Belgian painter Edgard Orst.
