I think ive become a Michael Cuningham groupie - first 'The hours' then this. Both books are so touchingly intimate and emotional. Luckily I coulnt really remember the film very well so never knew exactly what was going to happen. All so touching - made me quite introspective for a while. He writes so candidly about different kinds of love in this book. The love of a child for his parents and vice versa, the love between straight man and a gay man, between a gay man and a straight woman, the relationship between a gay man and his long term sexual partner that is slightly removed from love and held at a distance.
