‘He is a hero – a flawed one of course, but a true hero all the same.... We have so much to thank him for.’ – Mike Parker

‘Goronwy Rees... won many admirers, male and female, but made as many enemies.’ – Kenneth O. Morgan

‘Goronwy Rees’s Summer Flood occupies an important place in the vanguard of queer literature.’ – Norena Shopland

Owen Morgan, an Oxford undergraduate, returns to his family home on the rural north coast of Wales for the summer. The world has changed for Morgan. He is a man coming to terms with himself. University has offered new experiences; desires he had suspected but never acted upon have become real. It was a crime against both the law and God. He asks for forgiveness each time. A month in the decadence of Weimar Germany has shocked and enthralled him. At home, his cousin Nest waits for him; patient, loving. Matthews will be waiting for him in college; impatient, demanding.
