Produktbeschreibung
Aaron's Year of '77 is an erotic romance novel that tells of the year that Aaron, a young gay man from Brockville, Ontario, Canada came of age. Set deep in the disco era, the story unfolds to follow naive young Aaron over the first twelve months of his romance with Adam, a virile, older, complex man from Aaron's hometown.

J Francis Grice explores the themes of staying together when one partner leaves for College, homophobia, jealousy, and surviving personal crises. The result is an enthralling snapshot of what it took to nurture and sustain a gay male relationship in a time of uninhibited sex and rampant political and social anti-gay sentiment.
