The New Life - Tom Crewe

All the praise for this one - it's 1894 and two men in London are writing a book about homosexuality, at the time considered a crime, arguing that it is a natural variation in human sexuality. Then the trial os Oscar Wilde occurs and the two writers must decide how far they will go to promote with information in such a closed off society. Historical fiction at its best, this is a debut novel by the talented Mr. Crewe. New copy, good read.
