Howard Overing Sturgis – författare

Howard Overing Sturgis kept an open house at Windsor where Henry James and Edith Wharton were regular guests, and did his needlework while the talk flowed around him. His quiet first novel follows a delicate boy at an English public school whose attachment to an older pupil becomes the whole of his emotional life - a book that says, without ever quite saying, what could not then be spoken aloud. Delicate and deeply affecting, this edition presents the complete and unabridged novel, newly typeset and illustrated with 30 full-page color plates.
