What is the difference between friendship and love? Gustav grows up
in a small town in Switzerland, where the horrors of the Second
World War seem a distant echo. But Gustav's father has mysteriously
died, and his adored mother Emilie is strangely cold and
indifferent to him. Gustav's life is a lonely one until he meets
Anton. An intense lifelong friendship develops but Anton fails to
understand how deeply and irrevocably his life and Gustav's are
entwined until it is almost too late... 'A perfect novel about
life's imperfection... Tremain is writing at the height of her
inimitable powers...' Kate Kellaway, Observer 'Heartbreaking,
unsentimental and beautifully written, and it reinforces my opinion
that there are few writers out there with the dexterity or
emotional intelligence to rival that of the great Rose Tremain.'
John Boyne, The Irish Times
