several people--gay men, lesbians, their friends, parents and children--strive to construct new family models and community as they move in and out of love and work. questions of trust and responsibility grow as various characters move from hidden to open lives, in various locales across the city. this is a study of urban living, gay and lesbian culture, and a testament to love and youth.
generational confusion and dialogue, personal fears and inhibitions, collective euphoria and hopes for a different world: all feature in a novel that is emotionally pulling, sometimes euphorically transcendent, and often visually emotive. the novel is a history, a fiction, an urban catalogue and a collective testament to the roots of contemporary gay and lesbian lives. its morality is generated by the emotional truths presented by different characters. there is no "agenda" in the novel, just the record of lives, friendship, love and dreams.
