recommended for: anyone confused about their gender.
My dad bought me this for my birthday when he found out that Wesley Stace is John Wesley Harding, a musician I used to quite like.
Quite strange in that it deals with being transgender in the Victorian era--not really cross-dressing but rather being transgender, which I think is different. Unfortunately I feel that on the whole people are far more accepting of it in this book than they ever would have been in real life, but perhaps I should read a non-fiction book on transgenderism in the Victorian era to see if that's true.
