Set in the 1960s in an Oxford college when being gay was still an offence punishable by imprisonment, Sandel tells the story of a love affair between an undergraduate (David Rogers), and a cathedral choir boy (Antony Sandel). Sensual, profound, often funny and never sentimental, Stewart provides a definitive analysis of same-sex love in the context of a relationship that reveals love as the one agent of the human condition that can set us free.

About Angus Stewart
Angus Stewart was born in 1936 the son of John Innes Mackintosh Stewart the novelist and Oxford academic who wrote bestselling crime fiction as Michael Innes.He was educated at Bryanston School in Dorset and later at Christ Church Oxford loosely disguised as St Cecilias in Sandel. His first published work was The Stile which appeared in a 1964 Faber anthology and won the Richard Hillary Memorial Prize. His breakthrough came with Sandel his first novel written in 1966-7 in the wake of the Wolfenden Report on Homosexual Offences and Prostitution. In recent years when the novel fell out of print it developed a cult following and commanded a price of over a thousand pounds a copy on Amazon. It is now known that Stewart filtered the human drama of the piction through the perspective of autobiography. He wrote pseudonymously about the central affair as his own in Underdogs: Eighteen Victims of Society edited by Philip Toynbee in 1961. In 1968 Stewart moved to Tangier in Morocco. His experiences there resulted in a second novel Snow in Harvest (1969) soon to be published by Pilot Productions and a travel diary entitled Tangier: A Writers Notebook first published in 1977 and now available in ebook form. A third novel The Wind Cries All Ways which includes a startling description of the authors incarceration in a Tangier mental asylum has never been published. After his mothers death in 1979 Stewart returned to live in England and died in Oxfordshire twenty years later.
