Bianca's Reviews > My Policeman

The story is simple - in the 1950s United Kingdom, gay relationships were illegal. Unsurprisingly, most gay people were in the closet. Many married someone of the opposite sex.

This is the story of a threesome, better said of a love triangle, a scalene one, in which Tom, a twenty-something policeman is at the centre top. He marries, Marion, a middle-of-the-road teacher, who was his sister's best friend. But his love interest is Patrick, an older man, an intellectual, the curator of a Brighton museum.

While Tom is the love interest of these two different people, we never hear his point of view. We see him through Marion's eyes and through Patrick's.

I had to check when this novel was written because it had an old novel vibe to it, probably due to its restraint and setting. This novel is not explicit at all, if anything, it lacks eroticism. I didn't mind it, although it would probably have added some spiciness to a somewhat bland English cuisine.
I can't wait to see the adaptation of this novel. The casting looks good.
