Incredibly written but it fights against itself, pride vs homophobia
I imagine it was a stepping stone, but I should've known by the title it would take us back in time to a harshness
The plot is slow for about 4 'books' and then everything happens all at once, but I felt the same about Jane Eyre and still recognise it as a work of art
My overall review for my future self would be - I dont need to revisit this book just because it was significant to the lgbt community in a different time long ago
