The Sparsholt Affair by Alan Hollinghurst
4.0
I loved this multi-generational story that spanned most of the 20th century.
I was sad when I moved from the first book to the second that we left Oxford and the war behind, and I never quite got over the loss of Freddie Green as a narrator, but I loved the entrance of Johnny Sparsholt as a boy and to then see him as a young man and as a parent with an adult daughter.
Sex, sexuality, secrets (what were all the dimensions of the Sparsholt affair? - inquiring minds want to know...), art, music, and so much more.
