“The Boy in the Rain transports us to another time and place in this powerful, sensual, and lyrical novel that literally took my breath away? the love is so visceral, the pain so deep, the beauty so real, and the danger so palpable!”—NYT bestseller, M.J. Rose, author of The Last Tiara
It is 1903 in the English countryside when Robbie, a shy young art student, meets the twenty-nine-year-old Anton who is running from memories of his brutal childhood and failed marriage. Within months, they begin a love affair that will never let them go. Robbie grows into an accomplished portraitist in the vivid London art world with the help of Anton’s enchanting former wife, while Anton turns from his inherited wealth and connections to improve the conditions of the poor. But it is the Edwardian Era, and the law sentences homosexual men to prison with hard labor, following the tragic experience of Oscar Wilde. As Robbie and Anton’s commitment to each other grows, the world about them turns to a more dangerous place.
