Another great book by Bram Stoker It tells the story of lovely teenager Stephen (her father wanted a boy...) and Harold, approaching manhood, at the outset. They come to be raised together as trusted intimates, siblings in all but blood. They make errors which alter both of their lives and badly affect the rather adult-like turn their feelings for one another take. Convention and fear of offending each other prevent them from getting back together until the very last moment...
