When love doesn't accept a no.
Gray is a 23 years old artist who feels an immediate attraction for Charles, a 31 years old literature professor. Gray is young and full of life, he also has just accepted his homosexuality. Charles instead is quite and aware of his own sexuality: he doesn't have a present lover, but if he wants sex, he knows where find it and absolutely doesn't want a youger lover, maybe a little to easily influenced by an older man.
But Gray is very insistent, and no matter what Charles says, he wants Charles and wants everything Charles wants, also the pleasure/pain game that Charles prefers.
I like very much the character of Gray: he is open and outspoken, he holds nothing of what he feels or what he wants. Charles instead is closed and brooding, but, fortunately, he doesn't deny his feelings and desires, even if he is dragged to admit them.
I love the atmosphere of this novel: it's warm and cosy, the feelings seep into you and leave you with a peaceful sensation after turn over the last page.
