Summary:
AN OBSERVER Reserve OF THE ENTIRE YEAR
A gripping story of betrayal, privilege and hypocrisy, occur the unassailable heart of the United kingdom establishment.
‘Think Brideshead Revisited matches The Talented Mr Ripley with a dash from the Riot Membership. I couldn’t put it down’ Louise O’Neill, writer of REQUESTING It
‘As the train pressed on, I realised that my life was in the process of taking a different about The Party direction, plotted relating to a new constellation. Because, although I didn’t understand it yet, I used to be about to meet Ben and nothing at all would ever end up being the same once again.’
Martin Gilmour is an outsider. When he wins a scholarship or grant to Burtonbury School, he doesn’t put on the right clothes or speak with the right kind of accent. But he meets the dazzling, well-known and rich Ben Fitzmaurice, and increases admission to an exclusive world. Soon Martin is taking pleasure in tennis celebrations and Easter egg hunts in the Fitzmaurice family’s estate, as Ben turns into the sibling he never had.
But Martin has a secret. He understands something about Ben, something he’ll never tell. It really is a secret that will bind the two of them jointly to discover the best portion of 25 years.
At Ben’s 40th party, the fantastic and the nice of Uk society are gathering to celebrate within a haze of champagne, drugs and glamour. Amid the hundreds of guests – the politicians, the celebrities, the old-money and newly rich – Martin once more feels that disturbing pang of not-quite belonging. His wife, Lucy, has her reservations too. There is disquiet in the air flow. But Ben wouldn’t perform anything to harm their friendship.
Would he?
‘The twists and changes that the novel takes are never predictable and the novel becomes as unsettling since it is certainly involving. One particular books a person reads in one time because you absolutely have to know how it becomes out’ John Boyne, writer of The Son in the Striped Pyjamas
