Crossing the line

Wonderful story with amazing characters and the writing is just so vivid and picturesque.  You truly feel that you are in the places being written about and the emotions, smells, colors, all just leap from the page.

Unique and interesting characters are always a hallmark of any story by @Robert Hugill, and this one has some doozies.  From the money elite, to hanger-on's, to cultural visionaries, to just everyday people, this one truly had it all.  They all stood on their own and yet blended splendidly.  

The story had a few subplots that all supported the main story and tied together in the most delicious ways.

A real treat for anyone that takes a nice afternoon to enjoy some tea and crumpets and a excellent story.

One of @Robert Hugill classics, English humor and mentality combined in the best way. This time, we are going to a journey through eccentric art world with unusual characters and bizarre artworks. The line between art and pornography is very thin, the same as the line between culture and kitsch! Two protagonists - Vaughan and Dante, navigate through this world, never completely sure are they manipulated by rich, mysterious Mr. Heyward or they have situation under control. Are they friends, employees or prey?! Alonge with playing this 'mind game' with their employer, Vaughan and Dante becomes closer and their relationship becomes stronger. Will they resist temptations made by Mr. H. and will they be able to put clear borders in interaction with him...read and find out! 

This story did not grab me immediately like @Robert Hugill's other works published on GA. It was somewhat of a slow burner, but by the story's end I was glad I had invested my time in reading it.  

I did not much care for one of the two protagonists to begin with, but he "grew" on me as the story unfolded. As is invariably the case with a work by Robert, some of the minor characters were larger than life and very entertaining and/or amusing. Humour abounded and a little drama here and there kept the mix interesting.

A trip into the Hugillverse, once again a 5 star experience.
