About this product
Product Information
From the bestselling author of A PLACE CALLED WINTER comes a compassionate, compelling new novel of boyhood, coming of age, and the confusions of desire and reality. 'It's delicious, it's dear, it's heart-breaking and very funny' Rachel Joyce 'An incredibly beautiful story told with compassion. Nothing is wasted. Each sentence is beautifully crafted' Joanna Cannon 1970s Weston-Super-Mare and ten-year-old oddball Eustace, an only child, has life transformed by his mother's quixotic decision to sign him up for cello lessons. Music-making brings release for a boy who is discovering he is an emotional volcano. He laps up lessons from his young teacher, not noticing how her brand of glamour is casting a damaging spell over his frustrated and controlling mother. When he is enrolled in holiday courses in the Scottish borders, lessons in love, rejection and humility are added to daily practice. Drawing in part on his own boyhood, Patrick Gale's new novel explores a collision between childish hero worship and extremely messy adult love lives.Product Identifiers

Like being in a room full of vacant sloanes
What an absolute load of old tosh. Where is the storyline, what is actually happening, where are the endearing characters you care about when all is said and done what is it all about ? I can only liken this particular story to being like a fly on the wall in a room full of privileged non - descript antagonists who have very little to say of any worthwhile significance, absolutely well written and descriptive, but boring, and nothing really happens to move these protagonists along do yourself a favour and watch something tedious like Love Island, at East there there's an intrigue of sorts Perhaps a murder or two would liven this pothole up and stir one's imagination.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
