very intimate memoir of her marriage to gay AIDS victim--honest to the point of embarrassing but also relevant & very touching
  FKarr | May 25, 2013 |
I read this book after hearing Winik speak at the Texas Book Festival. Her funny, authentic speaking style captured my heart.

This is one of her earlier books, I think, a memoir that describes her marriage to a gay man - a figure skater, infected with AIDs, who ultimately dies of the disease.

What kind of straight women would marry an openly gay man? It's certainly the question that drives you to read the book. But as Winik describes the love they shared, you actually "get it" - you can see why she did it. You follow this couple through heroin addiction and his declining health and eventual death.

But it's a lovely book about the transcendence of love - and it makes you think a bit about the artificial "boxes" we create to put love relationships into neat, little buckets. Love can be a lot of things.

This is a love story. And it made me want to read more of Winik's work. ( )
