Elio — 17 years old, precocious, the son of an academic — finds himself falling for the older
Oliver, a postdoctoral scholar completing his manuscript on Heraclitus at the beautiful home of
Elio’s family. Oliver is worldly, handsome, a seductive contrast to Elio’s own naivety. Both are
bright and questioning; the hook of desire is soon caught fast.
This week's book is Call Me By Your Name by André Aciman and we'll be meeting at Ye Olde Cocke on Wilmslow Road in Didsbury — contact us for details.
