Gaveston Stephanie Merritt Book New Paperback

Gaveston takes readers deep into the murky world of obsession and sexual politics, penned by one of Britain\u2019s exciting new literary voices. When Gaby Harvey, daughter of powerful media tycoon Sir Edward Hamilton Harvey and a student at the elite St Dunstan\u2019s College, first encounters Piers Gaveston, she immediately senses trouble. Aloof, vain, and dangerously attractive, Gaveston still manages to captivate her, winding his way through both London\u2019s media circles and her heart\u2014with disastrous results. Stephanie Merritt\u2019s darkly compelling debut features an unusually intellectual cast, offering a glamorous world that feels like an episode of \u2018Dallas\u2019 rewritten by Iris Murdoch and David Lodge, and directed by Ingmar Bergman.
