First of all, this is a gay story from 1914!!! It's great to see older books about gay characters, especially a century ago. But it's also sad to see that some of the problems that Maurice went through are still very real for many LGBT+ people in the world today, especially the feeling that it's wrong to be queer and it's something that should be cured.
Maurice receives 3 stars from me for a few reasons, even though it's needed representation. First, it wasn't exactly an easy reading, not because of the vocabulary, but because of the way the dialogs were written. I had to re-read some of them several times and still lost track of who was saying what at some points. The second point is the classism, obviously expected in a book from the 1900s and I kept that in mind during my reading, but it still bothered me seeing how Maurice was misogynist and how the lower classes of old (just old?) England were regarded.
Now, the highest point for me, unfortunately I think, was the representation of someone who had to come to terms with feelings that are not accepted either in society (or in any closer group, like family, religion, …). Every LGBT person has gone through this and reading that just touches this spot.
