For a work to expose the marginality suffered by a group due to their sexual orientation as far back as the 1940s, is highly commendable. Nothing can be greater than seeing that all humans are truly free. Great review!

Its rare to have a work of fiction as realistic and relatable as you say this book is. Sounds like a great read!

Stories that come to "life" are the best. This one touches on tough subjects for its era. It sounds like the author did a good job with those heavy subjects.
Life without a good book is something MrsCatInTheHat cannot imagine.

Sounds like a very well-written and well-researched book. It is rare to find a book which speaks directly to the heart and everything about it seems real. Such kind of books become a real treat for readers like me. Thanks for the great review.
What is the most special thing I did today- I was MYSELF. Happy and in love and unapologetically myself.

Great review. I love fiction books that take place almost like a historical account. It sounds like that is the case with this book based on your review. Thanks for the insight, I'm looking forward to reading it.
