Messaggero D'amore by L.P. Hartley
An older man looks back on a summer in his childhood when, as a shy thirteen-year-old visiting a grand country house at the turn of the century, he was co-opted into carrying secret messages between an upper‑class young woman and her working‑class lover; through his naive complicity he experiences a sudden sexual awakening, becomes entangled in the era's rigid class codes and hypocrisies, and is left haunted by guilt and the lasting distortion of memory and innocence.
