It's very well written, the vocabulary is beautiful and the way he describes the two main characters, what they think of each other, how they view their relationship, how they deal with their insecurities etc. Also a good description of the atmosphere in England in the early 1960s, prior to the sexual revolution. And then the little twist. It's only short, I read it in a couple of hours.
