Moonstone: The Boy Who Never Was: A Novel

A short poetic Icelandic novella that's a bit like a fever dream. It's 1918 and our protagonist, a 16 year old gay boy, sleeps with men for money and daily escapes into the 2 cinemas in Reykjavik to avoid society. But then the Spanish Flu is overtaking town and the boy is made to help.

I liked this, but as always with novellas it felt too short to attach to the character/book much. But it had haunting qualities.
