I enjoyed the reader. I thought the exploration of relationships was well done. I thought the erotic elements were realistic and hot!

Seventeen-year-old Noel Crowe is idling in the unexpected sunshine when Christy makes his first entrance into Faha, bringing secrets he needs to atone for. Though he can't explain it, Noel knows right then: something has changed. As the people of Faha anticipate the endlessly procrastinated advent of the electricity, and Noel navigates his own coming-of-age and his fallings in and out of love, Christy's past gradually comes to light, casting a new glow on a small world.

My favorite listen of the year
Revisado: 08-31-24
I couldn’t have enjoyed anything about this book and it’s presentation more! Beautifully written and so heartfelt, it did everything I hope an Audible book will do. If you love a carefully crafted story, beautifully chosen language, and a deft performance, I think you will love this book.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 71
In the summer of 1894, John Addington and Henry Ellis begin writing a book arguing that homosexuality, which is a crime at the time, is a natural, harmless variation of human sexuality. Though they have never met, John and Henry both live in London with their wives, Catherine and Edith, and in each marriage, there is a third party: John has a lover, a working-class man named Frank, and Edith spends almost as much time with her friend Angelica as she does with Henry.

Beautifully written. Great performance!
Revisado: 05-24-23
I’ve listened to this twice. It was even better the second time through. The window into the minds of turn of the century people trying to navigate their sexuality when it was against the law and barely acknowledged was fascinating. The author writes beautiful prose. The super sensual sex scenes were some of the hottest and best written that I’ve encountered.
The reader delivers a nuanced and thoroughly enjoyable performance, creating a cast of easily distinguishable characters.

Personalizing the immigrant experience
Revisado: 11-08-22
I was fascinated and saddened by the trials of the writer and the other people who crossed from their homes into the USA looking for a new life. The author’s voice added a greater feeling of vulnerability to the listening experience. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand the Latin American migrant experience.
