series is a collection of books that each tell the story from a different character&#x27;s perspective. The first book in the series, Something Like Summer, focuses on the relationship between high school students, Ben and Tim. Told from the perspective of Ben, the story spans 10 years and explores coming of age, family and societal pressures. The success of the series later led to a movie adaptation of the first book.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B00CMA5HEU?tag=digitalboo0ca-20&#8243;

Exploring themes of hypocrisy, privilege, class and homosexuality, this book has the perfect backdrop of Thatcher&#x27;s Britain. Hollinghurst manages to capture this era brilliantly and the novel was a poignant winner of the Booker Prize in 2004.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/079273761X?tag=digitalboo0ca-20&#8243;

It is one of the first novels to deal so openly with male homosexuality. Set in Edwardian times, the novel depicts the life of Maurice Hill from the age of 14, through to his education at Cambridge University and finally, to his father\u2019s firm. Maurice is following the life that he is supposed to. But difficulties arise because he is gay. Hugh Grant later starred as Maurice in the film adaptation.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B003VXLSEU?tag=digitalboo0ca-20&#8243; url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221;
