This story gave a good look at gay love under the strict puritanical laws. Jonathan is a young school teacher who falls in love with Nathaniel, a master cooper. Unfortunately the punishment for their sexual behavior under Puritan law is death by hanging. Nathaniel sneaks to the school house where Jonathan lives in the loft for evening trysts but soon Jonathon's older brother, Samuel, begins to notice their behavior and tries to warn Nathaniel off. To make matters worse, Jonathan is betrothed which is a shock to him. The two men make plans to flee the area and find a life together out west away from the Puritanical strictures. Jonathan's wife announces that she is pregnant which kills the whole plan for happiness. I found the story interesting and very straightforward. There were no plot twists and turns that were surprising. It was easy to see the depth of the love between Nathaniel and Jonathan and while Jonathan came to love his wife I could feel that his love for Nathaniel never diminished. The story flowed well and though I disagree with the Puritan way of thinking it was depicted well. It was refreshing to see some of the younger people questioning what they wee being taught on the Sabbath. I found both Jonathan and Nathaniel to be likeable characters but not terribly developed. There was no HEA ending here but the book was worth the read just for some insight into history.… (más)
