Summary

BOX HILL is a sizzling, sometimes shocking, and strangely tragic love story between two men, set in the gay biker community of the late 1970s.

Box Hill Summary

Box Hill by Adam Mars-Jones

On the Sunday of his eighteenth birthday, in 1975, Colin takes a walk on Box Hill, a biker hang-out. There he accidentally trips over Ray, a biker napping under a tree - and that's where it all starts. This transgressive, darkly affecting love story between men, winner of the 2019 Fitzcarraldo Editions Novel Prize, is a stunning novel of desire and domination by one of Britain's most accomplished writers.

Box Hill Reviews

'I very much enjoyed BOX HILL. It is a characteristic Mars-Jones mixture of the shocking, the endearing, the funny and the sad, with an unforgettable narrator. The sociological detail is as ever acutely entertaining.' - Margaret Drabble
