I recommend this novel to anyone who enjoyed Girl, Interrupted. It not only shows how rough it was to be gay in the 60's (and presumably before then too), but how tough it was just being different in general (one lady in the asylum is there, basically, because she is deaf). I enjoyed the writing style, it had a very flowing rhythm and fit the situation well.
