Aelred's Sin by Lawrence Scott
Robert de la Borde leaves the Caribbean for England after hearing that his brother, Jean Marc, has died. Visiting the monastery Jean had entered in the 1960s, Robert pieces togther his brother's life; his emotional suffering and his struggle to balance his sexual impulses with his love of God.
