This is a fantastic portrayal of an abused high schooler (probably 19:or so, having stayed back so many years) who responds to the care of a sensitive high school teacher. Both are love starved. The overtures of the high schooler, intelligent and in some sense self aware, are honest and driven by young man’s desire. The teacher is vulnerable and falls in love with him. I think this is a masterpiece. Fantastic writing. The second love story within the story ends with hope and is equally good. Bravo.
