Book Reviews of A Few Hints and Clews
Book Review: Do not miss this beautiful love story!
Summary: 5 Stars
Much has been said of this book by the previous reviewers. I was captured by the writer's marvelous prose from page 1 and found myself glued to the story until the end. The writer has given us a captivating story of being gay through the decades, from fearful self denial to the wild sexual abandonment in the 1970s, to the terror of AIDS and to the contemporay tolerance of gay couples. All this is revealed through Adam's eyes as he finds his one true love in Tony and together live proudly as an openly gay couple overcoming infidelity and heartaches along the way and accepting monogamy as they love each other deeply.
Their ties with their parents is warmly told. It is most heartening to read of parents who quietly accept the couple's relationship even if they do not comprehend it. But this is much more than a gay romance. The couple's family histories, Adam's pain as a Vietnam veteran, Tony's previous marriage which ended tragically, the couple living in their first home among their African American friends, the gradual wedge between Adam's parents and the final 16 pages which have me holding my breathe.. all these are wonderfully expressed and told with such clarity.
Ultimately this story is a celebration of gay love as we rejoice with Adam and Tony living proudly as a gay couple. Kudos to this amazing writer and if this is a partial autobiography I am most happy for Adam and Tony.
