Description

The long-awaited follow-up to The Second Footman (ISBN: 9781780883656) A modern take on the nineteenth-century novel, set in 1880s' France and full of period detail and atmosphere.

Who is Max Fabien? Is he the loyal secretary and faithful lover of the marquis de Miremont? Or a handsome but unscrupulous trickster, who regards lying as an accomplishment and any sexual quarry as fair game?

Miremont's heart says one thing, his jealousy another.

But his obsessive passion for the boy must remain a dark secret-no easy task when his estranged wife and their younger daughter arrive in Paris for a prolonged visit.

Soon the strain begins to tell. The Hotel de Miremont becomes a hive of gossip, mistrust, intrigue and deceit, and Miremont is faced with an impossible choice.

Meanwhile the grim secrets of Max's past continue to haunt him.

Has the time come for him to claim his not-so-rightful destiny?

That Deplorable Boy is the second book of the Miremont trilogy, charting the course of a gay love affair between an aristocrat and a former servant in late 19th-century France.

Rich in period detail and set in the grand chateaux of Paris and Burgundy, the novels explore the suffocating social codes of the time and the conflicts and dangers they bring for those who must live outside them.
