Description
'As with all the best novelists, Husband's talent seems to draw its energy from the experience of writing from perspectives far removed from her own as she inhabits other genders, other sexualities, other eras' Patrick Gale
Set in the aftermath of World War I, Marion Husband's moving novel illuminates the difficulties faced in the post-war period by former soldiers, and explores early twentieth-century taboos, love and betrayal. Through vivid flashbacks, effortless prose and realistic dialect, 'the love that dare not speak its name' is explored with true feeling and passion. Exploring the prejudice of only a few generations ago, The Boy I Love is a classic love story.
Just some of the amazing GOODREADS REVIEWS:
'A beautiful, melancholy book which feels terribly true to its time and to the characters.'
'A wonderful book. One of those that I just couldn't put down.'
'I absolutely loved this book. Found it utterly unputdownable.'
