Tell me, do you know why the most beautiful love stories must always end badly?
In the summer of 1985, on a scruffy resort island off the coast of France, six teenagers— five boys and one girl—band together for a final golden season before adulthood. Their days are drenched in sun, and their nights simmer with secrets, jealousy, and longing. Philippe is drawn to Nicolas, the quiet new boy who sees him in a way that no one else does. As their bond deepens, part of Nicolas remains unreachable—and then a sudden tragedy brings everything to a brutal end.
The Summer Boy is a lush and unforgettable autobiographical tale, capturing the ineffable summers of youth in amber. Celebrated novelist Philippe Besson has shaped his memories into “a haunting and wistful work” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) about how one night—and one fierce connection—can echo across a lifetime.
