(3) YA Struggling with his feelings of attraction to a male classmate, seventeen-year-old Greg often seeks refuge at Graveney Hall, a burned-out mansion being restored by volunteers. A parallel story concerns one of the dwelling's earlier inhabitants: a gay soldier who served in WW I. Big issues--sexuality, religion, identity--are explored in this intelligent, mature novel notable for its strong characterizations.
