The story revolves around a wealthy family, the Browns, who live in a luxurious mansion in New York City. The family consists of the father, mother, and their three children - two daughters and a son. The book explores the dynamics of the Brown family and their relationships with each other and the people around them. The characters are depicted as complex and flawed, and the story delves into their personal struggles and challenges. One of the central themes of the book is the idea of social class and the divide between the rich and the poor. The Browns are shown as being privileged and insulated from the struggles of the working class, but as the story progresses, they begin to see the world from a different perspective. Another important theme is the exploration of LGBTQ+ identity. The book features a character who is struggling with their sexuality and the societal pressures that come with it. This was a groundbreaking topic for the time period in which the book was written. Overall, Those Queer Browns is a thought-provoking and engaging novel that explores themes of family, class, and identity. It is a significant work in the history of LGBTQ+ literature and a fascinating glimpse into early 20th-century society. "Florence Morse Kingsley (July 14, 1859 ?
