review 1: Good books, intense and well wrote . The story have grand potential because the subject is serious: church and homosexuality (particulary gay priests) . Maybe the author doesn't want express judgments and the story of Frank is only a pretext for the meeting between Evan and Stefan but I'm however just one bit puzzled because in the end nothing we know of him and if this don't is important for the story , seem to me one mystery unsolved hence, why it is the "let motive" of plot? But, finally as tells Stefan ,important is only the love and what happening in our life is only one step that takes we to the next.
review 2: Grieving writer Steven Brandwein travels to the small town where his enigmatic late lover, Frank, had once served as a Catholic priest. He does... moren't know what, exactly, he's looking for, but he searches honestly and with a genuine heart, and in doing so, he connects with Evan, a volunteer at St. Jerome's who at one time also shared a complicated relationship with Frank.I really liked this book. It was emotionally rich, with satisfyingly complex characters and a believable (if slightly hasty) romantic relationship. Bonus: the protagonists brought out the humor and a little fun in one another, despite the bleakness in their backstories and the tough challenges they still wrestled with. I had teary eyes at one point, and I was smiling with the characters' shared joy at another point. The lack of answers to the puzzle of Frank and his life was believable, and I felt satisfied by how that aspect was wrapped up (loosely, with an eye toward the future). My only gripe is that, despite the first person POV, I felt a little distant from Steven. His emotions were described beautifully, but I didn't feel as connected to them, or to him. I didn't always have a good grasp of who he was outside of the loss that had shaped him, and even if that dimension of him was enjoyably complex, it still left me wanting to know more about who he was beyond that. less
