In the late summer of 1913 the aristocratic young poet Cecil Valance comes to stay at ' Two Acres', the home of his close Cambridge friend George Sawle. The weekend will be one of excitements & confusions for all the Sawles, but it is on George's sixteen-year-old sister Daphne that it will have the most lasting impact, when Cecil writes her a poem which will become a touchstone for a generation, an evocation of an England about to change for ever. Linking the Sawle & Valance families irrevocably, the shared intimacies of this weekend become legendary events in a larger story, told & interpreted in different ways over the coming century, & subjected to the scrutiny of critics & biographers with their own agendas & anxieties.

Around her Hollinghurst draws an absorbing picture of an England constantly in flux. ...
