"The Friscombe holiday provides a sequence of sexual excitements and intimations—not all of them clearly understood by Dave himself. The well-to-do divorcee Mrs Croft has her own plans, and the town, the beach, and the hotel itself provide further temptations and surprises."
"Dave's new self-consciousness combines with the hormonal turbulence of his intense feeling for other boys and men. All these questions, of race and sexuality, are freshly in the air during this adolescent episode, shaping his whole future."
