I'm going to learn to read Dutch so I don't have to wait that long. It's also a wonderful coming-of-age and "coming out" (as much as that was possible during that time) story, and as an added bonus there's a romance that's to-die-for - at least for someone like me who likes it slow and awkward and sweet. Obwohl mir die nicht ganz so gut gefällt. It's a fantastic historical novel - as someone who knows quite a bit about that time and Oscar Wilde's life in particular I have to say the author does an amazing job playing with the people from that time, interweaving their lives with that of the main character. Für Fans kann ich noch Adrian Mayfield von Floortje Zwigtman (3 Bände) empfehlen, da es die einzig ähnliche Geschichte ist, die ich kenne. : Ich, Adrian Mayfield: Paperback (9783836957328) by Zwigtman, Floortje and a great selection of similar New, Used and Collectible Books available now at great prices. One day, he meets a customer who will later introduce him to a whole new world - homosexual Victorian London, including the circle of men around Oscar Wilde. It's set in the 1890s, and it's the story of Adrian Mayfield, a young shop boy. In fact, it's the kind of book I always wanted to write, or at least to exist, back during the days of the height of my Oscar Wilde obsession.
