Alexis Hall
From fan-favorite author Alexis Hall comes a story of faith, redemption, and love—a melancholic tale of queer romance set in nineteenth-century England.
On the grim streets of London, a young man succumbs to his demons. Discarded by his lover and left penniless and alone, Michael “Micha” Dashwood uses sex to pay the bills and opium to numb the pain.
When a sudden illness strikes, all seems lost. But hope finds Micha in the shape of the Reverend Thomas Mandeville. Haunted by grief of his own, Thomas cannot bear to ignore another man’s plight. He brings the ailing Micha home to heal in his parish at Nettlefield.
As Micha recovers under Thomas’s care, he begins to realize that some people in this world are worthy of trust. Thomas, in turn, learns the truth of his own needs and desires. Between the secrets of the past and the burdens of the present, their future together seems impossible. Questions of faith and the shadow of opium continue to haunt them both.
Yet possibilities, like miracles, can be found wherever you look for them.

It’s probably a good book (certanly very well written!), but I can’t say for sure yet—I’d have to read it again to be certain. It kept me up for several nights in a row, I got totally stupid from lack of sleep (i.e., even stupider than usual).
I liked the ending, too—Alexis Hall is a good writer after all! I was starting to lose faith in them because they put out a lot of stuff I didn’t like lately.
Finally, someone addressed the topic of faith and homosexuality without resolving it instantly with a “love wins” gesture! It’s as if this conflict doesn’t exist these days, but it does—the pressure to conform is still there, and the diversity and otherness we have to live with is still there, and it’s definitely not “love wins, happily ever after.” Except in pulp fiction, hehehe
a great book
