and I'm free at last
All my chains are
in the past
The new life starts here

I’ve read this recently and it’s a fabulous look into queer life in Victorian times, mixing real historical characters from the era with fiction, all the while Oscar Wilde case was happening in the background. If Kindle is your way of reading, apparently it’s on sale today for only £0.99. https://amzn.to/3U0bPGV
