Description: The story of Anthony Larkin, his struggle against injustice, and the evolution of gay rights in the UK.
The characters in this story occasionally converse in Polari—a secret slang adopted by gay men in the UK during the fifties and sixties to evade prosecution. The Polari words are in italics, and translations are provided in the chapter end notes.
A Reader said: A very realistic look back at one of the darker parts of UK history. There is humour, there is sadness, but above all there is realism. Well written and told, this should be a compulsory read. ~mancunian
