From New York Times bestselling author Eliot Schrefer comes an exuberant YA historical coming-of-age novel about a rising star French pianist, navigating his way into high society as he explores his sexuality. Perfect for fans of Last Night at the Telegraph Club and The Gentleman’s Gide to Vice and Virtue.
They say Léon Delafosse will be France’s next great pianist. But despite his being the youngest student ever accepted into the prestigious Paris Conservatory, there’s no way an impoverished musician can make his way in 1890s Paris without an outside patron.
Young gossip columnist Marcel Proust takes Léon under his wing, and the boys game their way through an extravagant new world. When the larger-than-life Count Robert de Montesquiou-Fézensac offers his patronage, Léon’s dreams are made real. But the closer he gets to becoming France’s next great thing, the further he strays from his old country life he shared with his family and his best friend Félix . . . a boy he might love.
With each choice Léon makes, he must navigate a fine line between two worlds—or risk losing them both.

virkelig virkelig god bog. man får helt ondt i maven undervejs, da hovedpersonen skal overkomme nogle ting. men det hele ender godt! MEN OMG. author’s note til sidst!! han advarede mod spoilers, så det gør jeg også lige. SPOILER: det er baseret på ægte mennesker! leon delafosse, robert de montesquiou, marcel proust, reynaldo hahn, lucien og john singer sargent! de findes alle i virkeligheden, og man kan google billeder af dem! det er åbenbart ikke nogen hemmelighed, at de havde forhold med andre mænd. at robert er begravet med sin livspartner i en unavngivet grav, er så heart wrenching omg.
