Book Review:

In the shadow of an ancient abbey nestled between

rivers, Daniel is growing up. He is highly intelligent

but little understood by his parents, and a secret

passion burns inside him for love and recognition.

When his father loses his job as the headmaster of

the local school, his family stumbles into a rural life

for which they are ill-prepared. Daniel’s sole solace

is the arrival of Philip, a new boy at school, whom

he worships with a confused intensity. Before long,

both boys fall under the spell of a charismatic art

teacher, setting Daniel on a perilous course that

could lead to the betrayal of all he loves.
