## Description

'An extraordinary book which takes the reader into a world of obsession and mystery... The Folding Star is lit by insight and humour' Evening Standard Edward Manners - thirty three and disaffected - escapes to a Flemish city in search of a new life. Almost at once he falls in love with seventeen-year-old Luc, and is introduced to the twilight world of the 1890s Belgian painter Edgard Orst. ‘A generous pinch of true wit’ Sunday Times
