First Comes Love
reviewed on + 67 more book reviews


When Marion Winik fell in love with Tony during Mardi Gras in New Orleans, her friends shook their heads. For starters, she was straight and he was gay. But Marion and Tony's impossible love turned out to be true enough to produce a marriage and two beautiful sons, true enough to weather drug addiction, sexual betrayal, and the AIDS that would kill Tony at the age of 37. This is a heartbreaking and hilarious memoir.
