Author's first book & a pioneering entry into the LGBTQA literature, this story about male homosexuality between a boy & the male member of a rich couple who adopts him was praised for its "nonchalant directness,'' at times "witty and at ease." The main character's "final, stoic acceptance of the realities of loving is a genuine enlargement, not only of his own experience, but of the reader's." See less
