For once, I read a book that didn't feel too much of a heartache, I kept waiting for the insufferable pain to come, although it did in a different kind of pain, it wasn't as heart wrenching, but it's still beautiful. The life of Cyril Avery was something. It's painful and sad but I was amazed on how he bravely put up with it. He had his misfortunes and heartbreak but other than that one point of his life when he was forced to do the one thing he didn't want, he wasn't really the type to end things, and I really loved that part of this book. Here we have a gay man experiencing all the hardships, but was still looking forward to the next day. This book was so beautiful I enjoyed his journey literally from the day he was born up to the day the forever closed his eyes. It was all so cruel and peaceful at the same time.
