A tragic love story set against the back drop of Europe during the years of the world war. This was one of the most thought provoking and complicated novels I’ve read, and I loved every second of it. Especially as a partner of someone going through their own gender transition and struggles, it was both comforting and challenging. This is an important work of LGBTQ historical fiction that I think all queer youth should engage with.
