GREENWELL GARTH WHAT BELONGS TO YOU

'An exquisitely written investigation of desire and shame' Guardian  'A rich  important debut 
an instant classic to be savored by all lovers of serious fiction' New York Times Book Review 
On an unseasonably warm autumn day  an American teacher enters a public bathroom beneath
Sofia's National Palace of Culture. There he meets Mitko  a charismatic young hustler  and pays
him for sex. He returns to Mitko again and again over the next few months  their relationship
growing increasingly intimate and unnerving. As he struggles to reconcile his longing with the
anguish it creates  he's forced to grapple with his own fraught history: his formative
experiences of love  his painful rejection by family and friends  and the difficulty of growing
up as a gay man in southern America in the 1990s.  Startlingly erotic and immensely powerful 
What Belongs to You tells an unforgettable story about the ways our pasts and cultures  our
scars and shames can shape who we are and determine how we love. 'This astonishing debut
novel's portrait of compromised lust holds its own against classics like Lolita ' Sunday
Telegraph  'Greenwell's novel impresses for many reasons  not least of which is how perfectly
it fulfils its intentions' James Wood  New Yorker
