A review by retaliashun
The Sparsholt Affair by Alan Hollinghurst

3.0

I'm unsure what I think. I've never read Hollinghurst before and I am not sure what this novel was suppose to be inherently about. An artistic gay son of a decorated war hero who is arrested for a gay sex scandal. While I think it has potential, it just seems to move along with no purpose. Even the ending feels like it ends not because there is some resolved conflict between father and son (there isn't) but moreso that the author seemed to finally just tire of writing.
