About This Book

A teenage narrator recounts his coming-of-age in a rural setting, describing intense, often conflicted sexual awakenings stirred by literature and imagined encounters and the awkwardness of contact with adult women. He contrasts these private passions with the ease and tenderness of friendships among peers during summer gatherings, where platonic flirtations and confidences predominate. The arrival of a neighboring family introduces a close friendship with a girl his own age who becomes his intimate companion without fulfilling his deepest fantasies. The account emphasizes inner turmoil, longing, and the tension between imagination and social restraint.
