I cannot tell you how much I love this story! Kaje Haper has taken a grainy photograph and the few, spare words of a "Love is Always Write" prompt and created real, living, breathing characters.

The story spans 69 years - from Daniel and Jacob's first meeting, their first fumbling forays into a sexual relationship, the horrors of WW II, the difficulties integrating back into civilian life, leading a hidden life, Stonewall, adopting a cat, through to the tribulations of old age - and does it all the while showing the love and courage, flaws and foibles that embody these two men!

An absolute must read!
