A review by powerfulanne
The Charioteer by Mary Renault

Aching and achingly sweet; earnest and introspective. My one critique is that the narration could be oblique in an mid-century, british kind of way. Lots of "He knew now what he had known before, and when he looked into X's eye's, he had his knowledge confirmed. He turned away." etc etc. Not a lot of time spent on hashing out this knowledge, but one can guess.
