The Spell, from Booker Prize-winning author Alan Hollinghurst, details the restlessness of every human heart.
The Spell is a comedy of sexual manners that follows the interlocking affairs of four men: Robin, an architect in his late 40s, who is trying to build an idyllic life in Dorset with his younger lover, Justin; Robin's 22-year-old son Danny, a volatile beauty who lives for clubbing and casual sex; and the shy Alex, who is Justin's ex-boyfriend.
As each in turn falls under the spell of romance or drugs, country living or rough trade, a richly ironic picture emerges of the clashing imperatives of modern gay life. At once lyrical, sceptical and romantic, The Spell confirms Alan Hollinghurst as one of Britain's most important novelists.
'A masterpiece of sustained literary titillation'
The Times
'A bewitchingly beautiful tale ... confirms his pre-eminence among the prose writers of his generation'
