I will date myself but part of the appeal in getting this book is that it is set in 1962 the same year I was born. I had no idea what to expect. Dale is young but on his own since his family kicked him out. He meets Rey and feels attracted but Rey wants to be caution and careful. I liked the way that the story builds slowly and doesn't feel the need to rush to the end. I loved Rey's family and how caring they were for those they had come to care about. It's a good reminder that men loving each other is not a new thing but how much more cautious they men had to be and they little ways they could communicate without words. ( )
It's 1962, and Dale Parker has been on his own for two years, ever since his small-town family disowned him on the suspicion of homosexuality. He works as a waiter in a Southern California coastal restaurant, but his life is going nowhere fast: he has no real education and has never had a real relationship. So when he finds himself falling in love with Rey Durà n, one of his customers, he knows he's in over his head. Rey is nearly twice Dale's age and a descendant of one of the original Spanish land grant families in California. He's had plenty of disappointments in love, and that's what he's come to expect. He loves Dale, but Dale is a young, poor, uneducated Angloâhow can their differences be anything but insurmountable? Determined to overcome the obstacles and prove himself to Rey, Dale sets out to finish his education and settle down. He wins over Rey's family, starts learning Spanish, and adopts a culture vastly different from his own. But as Dale matures, Rey becomes less sure of his own commitmentâwhich could lead to the heartbreak he's been expecting all along. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
