5.0

A stunning story based on true events that discusses the complexities and struggles of homosexuality in a repressive society. The book truly is heartbreaking and gives a glimpse of how difficult it was for people who belong to the LGBTQ+ community to live their lives during the 1950s. Forester’s writing is nothing short of authentic and gut wrenching. I cannot recommend this novel enough.
