The Folding Star

''An extraordinary book which takes the reader into a world of obsession and mystery...The Folding Star is lit by insight and humour'' Evening Standard


Edward Manners - thirty three and disaffected - escapes to a Flemish city in search of a new life. Almost at once he falls in love with seventeen-year-old Luc, and is introduced to the twilight world of the 1890s Belgian painter Edgard Orst.
