Title: 2 stories: Puritans and Gays
Review: First off, I want to say I liked the author, I just didn't like the subject of this book. It should have been two books, in my opinion.It was frustrating to read 2 entirely different stories, that did not seem to have anything to do with each other. So much so, that I found myself skipping ahead so I could contine story 1, then going back to pick up on story 2.Story 1: The age-old Swan story with a Puritans-persecuting-others twist. The self-righteous, selfish, lying clergy who with many of their foaming-at-the-mouth followers, were ready to hurt anyone not like them.Story 2: This one was so depressing! It rehashed the terrible time in the 80's when AIDS was first discovered. This whole story was about homosexuality with religion thrown in. Sad and cruel.The author wrote well, but I would have never picked up this book if I had known what the subject material was. I was expecting a nice Swan story. So if you are looking for a happy book, look elsewhere.
