Now and then / By William Corlett

William. Corlett

London book editor Christopher Metcalfe is fifty when he returns to his childhood home after the death of his father. As he prepares for the burial, he unearths his own past: the one pivotal relationship in his life, which occurred when he was fifteen and fell in love with an older boy at boarding school who promised to love him but ultimately did not. Now and Then is the quietly intense story of a man faced with the emptiness of his life and the price he paid for not letting go.
