Summary
On the surface, Rich is like any other young man looking for work and pleasure in mid-1970s London. But Rich is different. He is a dropout: a dropout from music college who has dropped out again after four years as a Catholic monk. Talented but not ambitious, personable but unattached, Rich finds himself drawn into an international world of wealth and sophistication that will direct the course of his life.
When Rich meets Julian, the younger son of the wealthy, wine-producing Borbolla family, his eyes are opened to the world of big business and to the inescapable realization that he and Julian are more important to each other than either dares admit.
With his unrivalled gift of evoking time and place, Anthony McDonald brilliantly paints the landscape, the people, and the emotions of Rich's adopted home in France. Spanning half a century, Rich's story mirrors the era through which he travels with its decline of religious faith, its political upheavals, and its existential crises, as well as its changes in perception of the origins of love.
