I must warn you, it has a really, really unhappy ending. My course teacher said he couldn't bare to re-read it for the course, because it effected him so strongly emotionally. Books about gay people in the fifties rarely ended well. :/
I have been warned... I'm still going to check it out.
Ja, true - that's what I liked about Maurice. Clive did the societally correct thing and got married, ending up miserable, and Maurice stayed true to who he was and found happiness. An interesting book, for the time in which it was written.
