The Short History of a Prince by Jane Hamilton

5.0

What a treat to find such a well written book! Wonderful prose; I enjoyed the beautiful phrases and vignettes within the story. The book captures the world of a Midwestern gay teenager who's passion is ballet and his world with many of the same family and friends when he's a school teacher in his 30's. The boy's/man's relationships with his various family members and friends; which are more deeply observed are the soul of the book.
