A beautiful new Clothbound edition of Baldwin's ground-breaking novel, which established him as one of the great American writers of his time
David, a young American in 1950s Paris, is waiting for his fiancee to return from vacation in Spain. But when he meets Giovanni, a handsome Italian barman, the two men are drawn into an intense affair. After three months David's fiancee returns and, denying his sexuality, he rejects Giovanni for a 'safe' future as a married man - a decision that will bring tragedy, longing and regret.
