"A subtle and beautifully observed social comedy."—The Times Literary Supplement

Handsome, proud, reprehensible, and misunderstood, Dominic Langton is the dark heart of Martin Boyd's much-loved novel. A Difficult Young Man is an elegant, witty, and compelling turn-of-the-century family tale, the quintessential Australian coming-of-age story.

Martin Boyd was born in Switzerland in 1893 into a family that was to achieve fame in the Australian arts. His first novel, Love Gods, was published in 1925. Three years later The Montforts appeared, under the pseudonym Martin Mills. International success came with Lucinda Brayford, followed by the Langton Quartet: The Cardboard Crown, A Difficult Young Man, Outbreak of Love and When Blackbirds Sing. In 1957 he went to Rome, where he lived and continued to write until his death in 1972.
