Synopsis
This portrait of a gay man's coming of age is told from his teenage perspective, then 20 years later. At 15, Walter McCloud is so obsessed with becoming a dancer that he is oblivious to his brother's illness; as an adult, he flounders in his career and his personal life until everything is changed by an unexpected act of grace.

Industry Reviews
"There is some ballet in the novel, but Hamilton's emphasis is on the more familiar topics of love and loss and coming to terms with the past. The novel treats these subjects intelligently, but there's more meditation here than drama."
Salon - Rachel Pastan (03/31/1998)
"Hamilton...writes hard novels beautifully."
Los Angeles Times Book Review - Richard Eder (03/29/1998)
"A meditative, slow-moving, and thoroughly absorbing family drama....[T]his is a lyrical, bighearted novel that won't easily be forgotten."
McCabe
