A review by suze_1624
A Soldier's Wish by N.R. Walker
4.0
Despite being written by a favourite author this was the one I was most worried about reading, probably being set in the time of the Vietnam war - should not have worried at all, it was great!
4.5*, not quite to the 5, probably coz of those lingering thoughts.
The war is there as Richard goes but we get it second hand through his letters.
I liked that we had the Woodstock bit - so fun and set me off googling again, then the letters, then the visits and then the SD years followed by a brief Canadien adventure.
Gary was solid and constant throughout - we all need a Gary!
Richards road to recovery shows the plight, and abandonment, of the returning vets.
But for all that it was a light and enjoyable read as two guys go about making a family and traditions in a time when life was difficult for gay people.
