Holleran's central character,Lark is a gay man coming to terms with middle age,his mother's gradual decline in both physical and mental health and the loss of numerous friends through AIDS.

Lark's character is beautifully realised by the author, and the novel is both moving and amusing in just the right quantities. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Holleran's style is literary but eminently readable and I finished the book in two days.
