Reseña del editor:

After she receives a letter from a Tahitian woman claiming to be the daughter of poet Rupert Brooke, Nell Golightly remembers her pre-World War I experiences with the charming, yet standoffish, man who left an indelible impression on all of England. By the author of Trick of the Light Original. 40,000 first printing.

Contraportada:

In 1909, sixteen-year-old Nell Golightly is a housemaid at a popular tea garden near Cambridge University, and Rupert Brooke, a new tenant, is already causing a stir with his boyish good looks and habit of swimming naked in nearby Byron's Pool. Despite her good sense, Nell seems to be falling under the radical young poet's spell, even though Brooke apparently adores no one but himself. Could he ever love a housemaid? Is he, in fact, capable of love at all?

Jill Dawson's The Great Lover imaginatively and playfully gives new voice to Rupert Brooke through the poet's own words and through the remembrances of the spirited Nell. An extraordinary novel, it powerfully conveys the allure of charisma as it captures the mysterious and often perverse workings of the human heart.
