Period slash: an English nobleman who resembles Mr. Rochester's (of "Jane Eyre") moodier, more perverse older brother is given the care of a small boy who might -- or might not -- be his son. As the boy grows into a beautiful and fragile youth, the two men's relationship often crosses the boundaries of affection into obsession, and veers between violence, neglect and passionate attachment. Very readable, even more slash-able -- definitely not your grandma's Georgian romance!
