Everything you've heard is true. We lost a whole generation of men in a brutal fashion to a virus that still haunts us to this day. It was awful. Reading this brought back that time plus reading about 2015 fifteen now makes it a double historical. So much has happened in eight years!Fiona lives with the memory of her brother and his friends who succumbed to AIDS and 2015 she's still carrying that weight. Perhaps she always will. Perhaps we will too.The author evokes that period in time, 1985/86 etc., with almost photographic skill which only makes the sure losses to come more devastating. The present time of the book (2015), where Fiona has come to Paris in search of her estranged daughter, serves as journey to finally begin cauterizing the open wound that has been her life.I loved Yale ❤️The audio by [a:Michael Crouch 838493 Michael Crouch https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1695634287p2/838493.jpg] will break your heart.
