Alan Hollinghurst's novel tells the story of Edward Manners, a 33-year-old who leaves England to work as a language tutor in a Flemish city. He falls in love with one of his pupils, but can only console himself with other illicit affairs. Hollinghurst exposes the consequences of unfulfillable desire. / Edward Manners, un joven británico en busca de aires nuevos, llega a una pequeña ciudad flamenca para dar clases de inglés y no tarda en quedar prendado de uno de sus alumnos, Luc Altidore, un enigmático chico de diecisiete años al que acaban de expulsar de la escuela. Mientras en Inglaterra un antiguo amante muere de sida, en la pequeña ciudad flamenca Edward conoce a una serie de peculiares personajes: Cherif, un marroquí nacido en París que frecuenta el bar gay de la localidad; el excéntrico Matt, que vende material pornográfico y ropa íntima usada, y Paul Echevin, padre de otro de sus alumnos y director del museo local, quien lo introduce en el tortuoso mundo de Edgard Orst, un pintor simbolista fallecido durante la ocupación nazi, que vivió una arrebatada pasión por una famosa actriz y que pintó impactantes trípticos.
