Beschreibung

<p><b>'Unlike any other person I had come across, Welch seemed to be speaking particularly to me' Alan Bennett</b><br><br><b>'Vivid ... surprising ... an exquisite balance of pain and beauty' <i>Guardian<br></i></b><br>Orvil Pym does not fit in. A waifish, eccentric, sensitive fifteen-year-old, he hates school and longs to be alone. Spending his Summer holidays in a genteel Surrey hotel with his mysterious father and two brothers who don't understand him, he explores ancient churches, spies on a man rowing in the river and collects antiques, escaping into his own singular aesthetic world. First published in 1945, this is an unforgettable portrayal of a young man's sensuous coming-of-age.<br><br>'A heightened, sensual journey ... it is Orvil's vibrant energy that allows this book to bubble ... beautifully odd ... spectacular' <i>Independent</i></p>
