Boy I Love
Marion Husband

Posted by GREGORY (1 year ago ) I loved this novel, it really moved me and it was very unusual and gripping - highly recommended. It's hero is a young gay man who marries his dead brother's girl because she's pregnant...but really it follows the love (and sex) lives of a three young men, all damaged by the First World War, and really gets to grips with how they all try with varying degrees of failure to fit back into civilian life after the traumas they suffer in the trenches. It's just beautifully written and a joy to read.
