Customer Reviews

Remarkably Astute and Witty

This book has lasted in the "best books" section of my bookcase for years now, and perhaps once a year I pick it up and read through it again. Honestly, it has such spark, sincerity, wit, insight. Although some of the AIDs-related themes are dated, the theme of the novel, which touches upon personal aspirations and struggles with the strata of society, are timeless. If any book has (and will) stand the test of time, this is it. Frankly, I love it.

Deeply Moving & Haunting

Having loved Mr. Bram's "Father of Frankenstein", I picked this book up and was immediately enchanted. The characters are deep and involving. The emotions are raw. The lingering and potent effect of grief hangs over this novel like the fragrance of a garden of blooming flowers. Mr. Bram is a writer of concise and stirring prose. I recommend this book highly.
