Publisher Description
As Maurice Hall makes his way through a traditional English education, he projects an outer confidence that masks troubling questions about his own identity. Frustrated and unfulfilled, a product of the bourgeoisie he will grow to despise, he has difficulty acknowledging his nascent attraction to men.
At Cambridge he meets Clive, who opens his eyes to a less conventional view of the nature of love. Yet when Maurice is confronted by the societal pressures of life beyond university, self-doubt and heartbreak threaten his quest for happiness.

Beautiful
This is a beautiful story, and I only wished for more when I finished. I sorely wanted to know where the lovers had run off to and lived there life.
I had watched the movie before reading this which turned out not much different from the book. I picked up the book hoping there was more the movie skipped, and it was true, there was a but more, but the story of course was modest and English and English could be.
Nevertheless, it was a beautiful story, and I when I read it again, I'm going to re-read the part of Scudder which was my favourite. I only wished there was more.
