Description

The dazzling first novel from the best-selling, Booker Prize-Winning author of The Line of Beauty and The Sparsholt Affair.

An enthralling, darkly erotic novel of homosexuality before the scourge of AIDS; an elegy, possessed of chilling clarity, for ways of life that can no longer be lived with impunity. The Swimming-Pool Library focuses on the friendship of two men: William Beckwith, a young gay aristocrat who leads a life of privilege and promiscuity, and Lord Nantwich, an elderly man searching for someone to write his biography and inherit his traditions.

    I have read a few good stuff here. Definitely value bookmarking for revisiting.
    I wonder how so much effort you set to create this type of fantastic
    informative site.

    You’re so cool! I do not believe I’ve truly read anything like
    this before. So great to discover another person with a few unique thoughts on this subject matter.
    Really.. thanks for starting this up. This website is
    one thing that’s needed on the web, someone with some originality!
