Set in postwar England, the novel recounts the convalescence of Laurie Odell, a soldier wounded at Dunkirk, and his friendship with Andrew Raynes, a conscientious objector. Influenced by Plato's Phaedrus and the reunion with a former comrade, Laurie wavers between innocence and experience in the homosexual circles of the time.

For readers of historical fiction and coming-of-age narratives with homosexual themes, offering a portrait of postwar England.
