Summary

Manhattan in the 1950s. Expelled from boarding school, Gabriel Gibbs joins his older brother Spencer's world of white-gloved Park Avenue, weekend house parties filled with tennis and cocktails, and literary Greenwich Village -- where Gabriel first glimpses the elusive Lillian Dawes, who will also captivate his brother. As their lives entwine, so begins the powerful and poignant unraveling of innocence.

First line

I was seventeen when the Renwick School for boys decided, despite my family's long affiliation with the school, to discharge me midterm.
