Synopsis
This novel takes place almost entirely in a backstreet homosexual bar frequented by a motley collection of world-weary regulars. The bar is presided over by the owner, Madame, who looks after her boys, ensuring that the haven remains inviolate. Then one day an innocent young man walks in.

Review
Brilliant,beautiful, mischievous; few men can match Bartlett for the breadth of his exploration of gay sensibility (Independent)
Exquisite ... a moving and erotic love story (Observer)
Stands head-and-shoulders above any British or American gay novel to have appeared in several years (Gay Times)
A triumph both in its execution and in its intent (Sunday Times)
A writer who can really change the way people think (Literary Review)
Profoundly moving and enriching. Bartlett has achieved what is almost impossible: he has written a novel about successful, happy love (The Glasgow Herald)
Sexual, elegiac, imaginative and powerfully written (Time Out)
Tender, brutal, explicit, erotic and moving... a fictional debut of staggering assurance and ability (Gay Times)
As good a novel as you are likely to read this year (Literary Review)
An exuberant individualist... his style is a disconcerting mix of the plush and the confrontational, underpinned by indignation at society's treatment of homosexuals (The Times)
