The fourth and final novel in Bragg's 'monumental series' (Sunday Times)
It was not love at first sight. It proved to be not much of a conversation Nothing should have come of it.
A passionate but ultimately tragic love affair starts when two students - one French, one English - meet at university at the beginning of the sixties. From its tentative early stages, the relationship develops into a life-changing one, whose profound impact continues to reverberate forty years later.“'With a novel clearly autobiographical, the reader is constantly tempted into roman-a-clef speculation.”
