内容简介
Secrets and lies - this is a searing novel of loss and redemption. Yates explores the explosive, unshakeable bond between two brothers and the one summer that changes their lives forever. Tommy and Nathan Bishop are as different as two brothers can be. Carefree and careless, Tommy is the golden boy who takes men into his bed with a seductive smile and turns them out just as quickly. No one can resist him - and no one can control him. Nathan is all about control. At 31, he is as dark and complicated as Tommy is light and easy - and bitter beyond his years. While Tommy left for the excitement of New York City, Nathan stayed behind, teaching high school English in their provincial hometown, surrounded by the remainders of their ruined family history and a legacy of anger that runs through him like a scar. Now, Tommy has come home to the family cottage for the summer, bringing his unstable, sexual powder-keg of an entourage - and the distant echoes of his family's tumultuous past - with him. Tommy and his lover Phil are teetering on the brink of disaster, while their married friends, Camille and Kyle, perfect their steps in a dance of deception, each partner pulling Nathan deeper into the fray. And when one of Nathan's troubled students begins visiting the house, a slow fuse is lit on a highly combustible mix...
