This novel is the story of Michael, a sensitive young man torn between his passions for various, fundamentally different people. On one hand, the pure love of Elinor and Paul, and on the other, the more domineering and passionate possessiveness of an actress. Depicting numerous other relationships defining the life of his attaching title character, the author weaves an intricate, fascinating web that discusses as much heterosexual as homosexual love, presenting the latter with a rare honesty and proximity.
