'Deserves first prize in every category ... superbly written, wildly funny.'
Daily Telegraph
A literary sensation and bestseller both in England and America, The Swimming-Pool Library is an enthralling, darkly erotic novel.
Young, gay, William Beckwith spends his time, and his trust fund, idly cruising London for erotic encounters. When he saves the life of an elderly man in a public convenience, an unlikely job opportunity presents itself – the man, Lord Nantwich, is seeking a biographer. Will agrees to take a look at Nantwich’s diaries. But in the story he unravels, a tragedy of 20th-century gay repression, lurk bitter truths about Will’s own privileged existence.
