Kasa Cotugno's Reviews > Our Evenings

This is old fashioned storytelling at its finest. Reminiscent of the beloved (at least to me) Delderfield sagas of a previous generation, Alan Hollinghurst examines British mores through the lens of a most interestingly flawed and attractive narrator, David Win. Biracial and gay, he is the recipient of kindness on the part of a wealthy family who are patrons of the arts, thus allowing Hollinghurst to do a deep dive into many areas that have shaped Britain's aesthetic and political history. Immersive and informative at the same time.
