Things start to get dangerous when he invites her inside his house – nothing stays secret in a country town for long, and nothing will be the same for either of them…īelle evokes a hot, never-ending sense of Australian summer in the initial part of the book – the heat, cloying and unending, is almost like another character of the book. Solomon (who has been in some ‘trouble’ at his previous school) is entranced by the letters, being a firm believer in good sex but no love. When she witnesses an act in Solomon’s study, she decides to start sending him letters expressing her devotion and yearning for him. At first, she is forced to by a school bully, but then watching Solomon go about his daily tasks becomes a lovesick ritual. His next door neighbour, an unnamed student, watches him move in…and continues watching. The novel begins as a new teacher, Solomon Andrews moves into a country town in the height of a hot Aussie summer. But if you continue reading, you are rewarded with a novel that explores deeply the effect of previous relationships, the power balance between men and women and how idealism can ruin your future. It would be easy to write off The Yearning as a book in the vein of Fifty Shades given its frequent steamy sex scenes.
