The Summer Flood - Goronwy Rees

Owen Morgan, an Oxford undergraduate, returns to his family home on the rural north coast of Wales for the summer. Having left for university and completing his first year with a month in Germany, Owen returns as a changed man, altered by his experience of independence, new friendships, and the exploration of desire. While back at home, Owen recovers the feelings he had for his cousin Nest, while he tries to come to terms with his conflicted desires and struggles to align his own selfhood with the push and pull of love.
