Our Evenings

In "Our Evenings," acclaimed author Alan Hollinghurst crafts an intricate portrait of Dave Win, who embarks on a transformative journey from adolescence to adulthood. As the son of a Burmese father he never knew and a British dressmaker, Dave navigates the complexities of privilege and prejudice at an elite boarding school in the 1960s. Throughout his life, he confronts the challenges of identity, love, and belonging within the vibrant tapestry of queer culture and the performing arts, ultimately leading to a late-in-life marriage that brings him unexpected joy. This poignant narrative captures the beauty, pain, and richness of a singular life.
