This is Alan Hollinghurst`s first novel since "The Line of Beauty", winner of the 2004 Man Booker Prize. In the late summer of 1913 the aristocratic young poet Cecil Valance comes to stay at `Two Acres`, the home of his close Cambridge friend George Sawle.

Max Frei has discovered that the one place he really fits in is the parallel world of Echo. In our world he`s a loser, an insomniac with dubious social skills and an addiction to cigarettes.
