Was not sure about this one until realized there was a major life lesson for anyone broad minded enough to read to end. Relationships were not offensive to any average reader. Moral of story gossips are vicious you can find good folks in all walks of life. Story was well written.
This is a very simple, straightforward story set in a small town in Nevada in the 1890’s. at times, the writing is reminiscent of Willa Cather and My Antonia. The narration was clear, strong and true remaining consistent throughout the novel.
Prejudice and homophobia play big parts in this drama although friendship, love and trust themes also significantly factor. It was enjoyable and the plot twists and turns as it winds its way to the end; it wasn’t very predictable and I enjoyed that.
I won this novel through a Good Reads Giveaway.
This was an odd little story. It takes place in 1895 in a small town. Oscar Wilde has just been arrested in England because he was caught having a sexual relationship with another man. In the USA, in a small town, the local gossips are having a field day with their indignation over this scandal along with any other thing that they don’t agree with. There are two women who are frightened that their secret will be discovered. They have a plan of how to cover up their own relationship. As the gossip goes out of control, it seems as though these two lovely women’s lives will be ruined. This book shows how gossip can be so distructive and how many people get caught up in lies and bad things can happen.(less)
