The Lantern Bearers

Sent away from home for the first time, Neil Pritchard spends the summer of 1962 with his Aunt Nessie on the Solway Firth. Neil soon becomes involved with Euan Bone, a young Scottish composer. Suddenly, however, Neil is expelled from his Eden - with devastating consequences for all.

First sentence: It begins, in a cool glassy minimalist restaurant in Kensington, the year before last.
