What Members Thought
I'm torn on this.
The prose was decent and the narration (Irons) was excellent, so I really wanted to like this. Plus, you've got to give an author credit for talking so openly about homosexuality back in the mid 1940s. Obviously, he still resorts to euphemisms and talking around subjects, but he's far more clear about it than most of his contemporaries.
But... Wow, that main character is all mixed up. Especially when it comes to his relationships.

One of the better books that one will find to read about a bygone era.
Absolutely splendid - if you loved the movie, the original work adds to the experience.
