In 1964, Lawrence Miller, a Chicago architect, returns from working in South America with Esan Gorma, a juvenile. The youth is an orphan who was living in misery until Lawrence rescued him for a better life in the United States. Before Esan starts school in September, and Lawrence marries, the two spend the summer in a cottage on a lake in Canada. Here unfolds their complicated and forbidden relationship of love, sex, jealousy, abuse and revenge. The restless Esan disobeys Lawrence prohibitions, venturing farther and farther afield when Lawrence is away. He encounters other lakeside residents curious and suspicious about this secretive foreign boy. Ultimately Lawrence and Esan betray each other, with shattering results.
Certain to displease many, A SUMMER IDYLL is a dark, lascivious and lethal fairytale.
