Query: Searing longing

Once the narrator lets himself remember the exhilaration and the pain of his first love, who abandoned him, he can again face up to the challenge - thirty years later - of being exhilarated by the possiblity that he could let himself love again.It's a searing story, worrisome at first as it's about English self-repression, which could be very boring, but as he opens his memory, he opens his life.The author accurately evokes that sweet agony of first love lost.
