The weekend will be one of excitements and confusions for everyone, but it is on George’s sixteen-year-old sister Daphne that it will have the most lasting impact. As the decades pass, Daphne and those around her endure startling changes in fortune and circumstance, and as reputations rise and fall, the events of that long-ago summer become part of a legendary story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Stranger’s Child is Hollinghurst’s masterly exploration of English culture, taste and attitudes.
