Beautifully written
The boy I love, for me, was an emotional, yet amazing book. I fell in love with it many years ago, when I found myself so engrossed it was near impossible to put down.

While books based around war aren't normally my thing, Marion Husband captures personal struggles, dealing with coming home from combat and a forbidden sexuality in a very classy and believable way.

The story is rich, the characters are three dimensional and you get to see them develop right up until the very end. I highly recommend this.

"“It all started on an ordinary day, in the most ordinary place in the world.”—Brief Encounter David Lean’s depictions of two ordinary women (Celia Johnson’s Laura and Katharine Hepburn’s Jane) restraining their desires for Trevor Howard and Rosanno Brazzi, respectively, are two of my all-time favorite cinematic portrayals of forbidden heterosexual love. Incidentally, both use the writing of gay playwrights as source material: Brief Encounter is based on Noël Coward’s Still Life, and Summertime adapts Arthur Laurents’s The Time of the Cuckoo."
