Christened by the Vikings ''the village by the cross'', Crosby was a remote farming settlement until the advent of the railway. Little Crosby is still a village, but Great Crosby has been transformed into a leafy suburb of Liverpool. Recently, its centre has changed dramatically, but illuminating traces of its picturesque and historic past remain. Little Crosby retains its Catholic character and rustic look, with Crosby Hall, home of the Blundell family, an intrinsic part of the community. Blundellsands was founded by the Blundells in the late nineteenth century, designed on spacious lines for the affluent members of Liverpool society as a haven from the work place. They were attracted by the wonderful views over the shore from Liverpool to the Wirral, and the mountains of North Wales and the Irish Sea. It has successfully weathered the ravages of erosion and developers, and is now graced by the iron men of Antony Gormley''s Another Place.

Alan Hollinghurst si se svými prózami dává na čas. Románovou novinku známého anglického spisovatele, básníka a překladatele dělí od té předchozí šest let. Je tu nicméně „starý dobrý“ Hollinghurst, jak ho známe z dřívějška; autor se drží svého tématu i formy. Klasická struktura pěti obsáhlých částí zachycuje vždy jednu konkrétní situaci nebo události, které se odehrávají v mnohaletém časovém odstupu a sledují osudy postav během několika desetiletí. První kapitola a východisko děje se odehrává na Oxfordu v době letecké bitvy o Británii. Děj se točí kolem příchodu nového sedmnáctiletého studenta Davida Sparsholta, oslnivého krasavce. Jeho spolužák Evert Dax, nesmělý syn slavného spisovatele, se do něj beznadějně zamiluje. Po čase slaví úspěch, i když, jak se nakonec ukáže, z Davidovy strany šlo o protislužbu za finanční půjčku, která ho má vytáhnout z jeho problémů. Román dále sleduje Davidovy osudy i cesty jeho syna Jonathana, které se v prostředí britské kulturní a mediální smetánky neustále protínají s životní dráhou Everta Daxe. Alan Hollinghurst se jako mistrný vypravěč opět vyrovnává se zkušenostmi gayů v proměnách doby a společenských poměrů. Elegantně rafinovaný, přesný a výstižný styl je tentokrát okořeněn britským humorem.

Hugh Despenser the Younger and Edward II tells the story of ‘the greatest villain of the fourteenth century’, his dazzling rise as favorite to the king and his disastrous fall.Born in the late 1280s, Hugh married King Edward I of England’s eldest granddaughter when he was a teenager. Ambitious and greedy to an astonishing degree, Hugh chose a startling route to power: he seduced his wife’s uncle, the young King Edward II, and became the richest and most powerful man in the country in the 1320s. For years he dominated the English government and foreign policy, and took whatever lands he felt like by both quasi-legal and illegal methods, with the king’s connivance. His actions were to bring both himself and Edward II down, and Hugh was directly responsible for the first forced abdication of a king in English history; he had made the horrible mistake of alienating and insulting Edward’s queen Isabella of France, who loathed him, and who had him slowly and grotesquely executed in her presence in November 1326.
