Ebook short description
A moving love story! An amazing novel set in the Ireland of the late twentieth century, it explores the development of a young man's desire for love and his equally compelling desire for knowledge. The novel deals with current philosophical issues against the very human backdrop of emerging experience of the world. But the essential love story prevails.Extended description
This novel is more than a coming of age story. Certainly the central plot is a delicate love affair between two students whose attraction is both physical and intellectual.Yet the theme running through the novel is one of the quest of youth for understanding. More than subjective understanding - an understanding of life and all its secrets. The passions of youth allow the unfolding of new views on knowledge and culture.
The idealism of youth is boundless and the plains of discovery stretch into a vast future. Time appears endless.
