Product DescriptionAnnotation"What a read Every schoolboy's dream comes true in this deftly-written treatment of illicit romance. A triumph."-Alexander McCall Smith "My own piano teacher was called Mr Bagston and frankly I don't think any power on earth could have persuaded us to create a scene of the kind Coles so movingly describes."-Boris Johnson, mayor of London and author of "Have I Got Views for You" "An outstanding debut novel. A wonderful story of first love. Few male authors can write about romance in a way which appeals to women-but Coles has managed it quite brilliantly."-"Sunday Express" (United Kingdom) Seventeen-year-old Kim is a student at one of Britain's most extraordinary institutions, Eton College-crammed with over a thousand boys and not a girl in sight. His head is full of the Falklands War and a possible army career, until the day he hears his new piano teacher, India, a beautiful but pained young woman, playing a prelude from Bach's "Well-Tempered Clavier," Kim's life will never be the same again. An intensely passionate affair develops between him and his twenty-three-year-old teacher, and he wallows in the wild and unaccustomed thrill of first love. Twenty-five years on, Kim recalls that heady summer and how their fledgling relationship was so brutally snuffed out-finished off by his enemies, by the constraints of Eton, and by his own withering jealousy. "Prelude" is the bittersweet story of a life-changing love. William Coles has been a journalist for eighteen years. He lives in the United Kingdom.
