Quote from this book "Gerard looked at me, a curious light in his eye. 'Pierre, let's go down to the river. We can rest in the grass.' We dawdled some along the way, then found ourselves a little clearing by the stream, as if we were lovers on a summer day. Gerard unbuttoned his shirt, stretched out on the grass. I was too excited to speak, but, fumblingly, opened my shirt too. Turning toward him, I saw that Gerard was examining me from between his dark lashes. In the soft light his expression was so strange that I suddenly felt I had never been so naked." extract on half-title page Secondhand booksellers |
