A weekend at the country estate of his scholarship sponsors changes the life of 13-year-old Dave Win – and marks the beginning of a long rivalry with their son, Giles. Spanning five decades, Hollinghurst tells the story of a gay actor living in the shadow of social constraints, and of a friend who becomes a dangerous politician. »Our Evenings« is a sensitive story about desire, memory, and late love, told with linguistic elegance and
psychological precision.
With Alan Hollinghurst
