If you look up this book on Amazon you will see pages of 4 & 5 star reviews. I can only think they read a different book than I did. Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad story and it is well written. But I just didn't find it a "beautiful" or "fantastic" "gem." The novel is basically a character study of a gay man named George whose partner, Jim, has died in a car accident. George muddles through a day in his life, having breakfast then going to work, the gym, a dinner with a friend, and finally a drunken visit with one of his students. Quite frankly, I found it boring.
