Then - the same man as a 15 year old at boarding school, having his one gay relationship.
A trauma "then" seems to have persisted in its effects on the man until "now", preventing him having any further relationships, but there seems to be a huge gap between 15 and 50 where apparently nothing at all happened in his life - it is hard to believe the traumatic events "then" would have lasted this long.
Still, the book was enjoyable and the schoolboy bit compellingly written and engaging.
Recommeded-ish, but don't expect too much.
