The Sparsholt Affair by Alan Hollinghurst

3.0

This book started out well for me. The section set in Oxford during the war years felt rich and detailed. Unfortunately the rest of the book didn't really maintain the same depth that I felt from the Oxford section. There could have been more serendipitous moments in Johnny meeting Evert and their differing perspectives of events, but it didn't happen. It felt like the book just burnt out. Still, a good read, even if I did have to force myself to finish it today because the library phoned to say it is 60 days overdue....
