About this listen

The tragic-comic story of two young men, aged 21 and 18, who fall in love in the summer of 1962, but who have the misfortune to be working as teachers in a Catholic preparatory school at the time. Their names are Tom and Christopher. In the opposite corner to them stands Father Louis, the elderly headmaster. It is his conviction that the sixties will go down in history as the decade which sees the earthly triumph of the Catholic Church. Life becomes more complicated for Tom and Christopher when Miss O'Deere, the art mistress, decides to paint the pair as David and Jonathan and to enter the result in a public exhibition. To say nothing of the inconvenient attentions paid to them by 13-year-old Angelo Dexter.

The characters are finely drawn and fully convincing. Britain in 1962 still made gay relationships secretive and dangerous, especially at a catholic boarding school. I am so impatient to discover the protagonists’ next moves that I am starting the second book of the series at once. The author’s narration is ok, but audible has better readers.
