In the Absence of Men
Philippe Besson
The year is 1916. Vincent is 16 years old and, with almost every able-bodied man away at the front, he is approaching manhood. In his relationships with the soldier son of one of his parent's servants and with the writer, Marcel Proust, he enters a world of love, both erotic and platonic.
