I was captivated by Tremain's Restoration (bwl 16) but have found many of her other books hard-going. This one is a a delight, you have to keep going to see 'what happened next'! WW II is over, Gustav's mother seems strangely cold, his father has mysteriously died, his childhood is a lonely one. Life is transformed when he meets Anton and the ensuing years see his struggle with the hopes, fears and feelings which we all experience. An easy rewarding read.
