A heart rending excample of gay love in an opressed society
Once again Patricia Nell Warren gives an uncanny insight in to the world of gay men. Younger people reading this story today may have previously been unable to comprehend the danger of same sex love in an oppressed society. She puts the story across in such a way that you can feel the simmering tension between all the main characters, but especialy the men, in a society where masculinity was the be all and end all. The love scenes are so poignant to someone of my generation that I almost wept.I could taste the fear when they were discovered, the outrage when they were betrayed, the anger when masculine pride stood in the way of love and the joy when the characters won through. I recommend this book to all age groups, for the older generation to remind us how far we have come, and to the younger generation to show how hard fought this journey has been.
It is a book that I could not put down, but then I find this with all of her books.
