(*Forster was something of an Edwardian gay rights advocate. His book, therefore is written with the aim to glorify same-sex relationships. It is nonetheless a very useful book that shows a realistic look at the process of gay love that unintentionally demonstrates all of the shortcomings and wounds of such relationships. I am amazed at how this book speaks truth without meaning to, clearly showing any reader who is mature and informed enough the immaturity and self-medicating nature of gay relationships.)
