Sbastien is fifteen years old and already versed in the medicinal arts when he meets the young nobleman Balthazar de Cron, whose life he saves after the latter is thrown from a horse. De Cron, struck by the boys beauty as much by his talents as a healer, orders Sbastien to his manor some months later so he can instruct him in the ways of the court, hoping thus to install him as Louis XVs surgeon. His motives, however, are clouded by his lust for Sbastien, and after a brief period of restraint Balthazar and Sbastien loose both their passion and their imaginations. But it is 1749 and their affair scandalizes the French court, bringing the kings wrath down upon them. Balthazar is eventually presented with an ultimatum: repudiate Sbastien and live, or do not, and die.

Pickpick

I needed this book! I picked it up in a used bookstore and knew nothing about it. I love Europe so I took a chance. This beautiful story of two men in 1700s France is told in "spare but rich" prose. Jhumpa Lahiri says, "It is history made intimate, and a masterpiece of compression." I read it in one sitting. Highly recommend 5 ? #52bookclub23 #secondhandbook @LauraReads @KarenUK @britt_brooke @CarolynM @Smarkies @LeeRHarry @Bluebird @Read4life
