Ewan Macrae is an uncomplicated 14 year-old English lad growing up in the seaside town of Bude. He and his mates love spending long days at the beach sunbathing and surfing but lately his mates have been more interested than he in the girls that have joined their circle of friends.
Ewan on the other hand is more and more interested in Leslie his best mate. And when alone in Ewan's room after a training run Leslie reaches into Ewans shorts. Ewan realizes that he might be gay and in love with his best mate.
Published in the early 80's this story still feels contemporary and vital. It's the story of one man's coming of age and coming out but the discoveries are universal.
This book has an everyman quality that I found compelling when I first read it and which still holds true today.
