This book transported me to the countries that Tom visited while pursuing his Algerian lover. I was living every moment with these two men whose love was separated by governments and bureaucracy. The book demonstrates in eloquent style that love conquers all boundaries. Mr. Munroe is able to capture your interest and hold it as you live vicariously through his descriptive writing. I loved this book. It is refreshing and filled with hope for all LGBTQ individuals seeking their love. It doesn't sugar coat the experiences of a relationship but shows that if it is meant to be it will come to fruition. Thank you, Mr. Munroe for this stunning piece of literature and vicarious experiences that I shared with you. Keep up the great work and write more, please. This book is much more eloquent that 98% of gay centered literature. WELL DONE!
