Summary:	Set in Cambridge, this is the story of the love between a reclusive Classics don, Thomas Marius, and a boy of fifteen, the beautiful Josiah. In the ancient world such a love would have been considered the norm, even an ideal. In modern Britain, paedophilia is always an abomination. Thomas deals with his yearning for the boy in the best way he can, searching , in his donnish way, for that fine line between love and desire. (from back cover).
