A great read! Paul at mid-life is asked by his best friend, a dyke, to be a surrogate for her child. Not only does Christopher DiRaddo, a seminal figure in the queer lit community of Montreal, check the pulse on gay life in the 21st century, i.e., family redefined, he tells the story with compassion, wit and surprising clarity despite all the uncertainty. Along for the ride is his enduring relationship with Michael as he tackles the cost of love, monogamy and polyamory with all the vulnerability one rarely finds in contemporary fiction these days. A fabulous addition to LGBTQI2+ lit, not to be missed.
