" Great sequel to An Unfinished Life. Love the characters, love the setting, love the story, love the language. The relationship between McEban and Kenneth was so precious. When it said that he curled up in bed with him, and talked at other times about him coming to bed to stay with Paul when he was Kenneth's age, I thought oh christ do not tell me this has to go to perv land and heart break. Well it did not. It was a lovely poignant perfect kind of affection that was not adulterated. Life in the book has enough sadnesses without having to go down every wretched horrid sadness there is just because it may be trendy to do so. Bravo to Spragg for showing us what love can look like in all its messy, glorious manifestations. "
