A review by smateer73
Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin

4.0

This book was an utterly poignant look at love and loss. Told through the perspective of a gay man in Paris who meets his lover Giovanni through the actions of the untold underbelly of Paris, then enters into a relationship with him that is doomed from the start, yet nonetheless you feel their love, every powerful emotion like nothing else. This is certainly a book I will be thinking about for a long time to come.
