I wanted to like this anti-HIV polemic but it was too simplistic, the characters too caricatured. I wasn’t sure who the audience really was: some funeral traditions were explained which made me think it wasn’t for an audience local to the author (despite the preface) but there was liberal use of non-English words in the text which made it less accessible to this British White woman.
Simple, powerful, and necessary: this book is as much about family and love as it is about AIDS or our changing society. Beautiful and recommended.
