The Great Believers, by Rebecca Makkai. Set in Chicago from 1986 and Paris in 2015, and it's about gay men and the women in their lives, AIDS, relationships. Well written and engaging, made me research the history of AIDS (grim, another pandemic of our times and, interestingly, mainly transmitted by heterosexual people) and of condoms (they weren't used to prevent the transmission of diseases before) #TheGreatBelievers #RebeccaMakkai #bookclub @bookstodon @[email protected]
