Paxton Court edition by Diane Salvatore Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
I was a little hesitant to read a work of fiction by a Lesbian writer, but I decided that I would give this author a try- boy am I glad I did! I had feared I would have to read lurid details about the sexual acts between two consenting adult women, and it was there. However, it was done very tastefully and lovingly by the author, and she even details an encounter between two men in a hot Florida nightclub- one man very young and inexperienced, the other definately not young physically but still feeling his youth inside. The "twist" at the end kept me riveted and wanting to keep reading every page so that I could learn what happens next. It was a very good read for the Summer- short, and oh so sweet.
This is a book about a group of gay and lesbian friends who decide to retire and buy houses near each other in an exclusive Florida community. You get a chance to see how older members of the "family" adjust to living together and to trying to mix in with the rest of the neighborhood. There is a twist ending to one of the relationships that lingers with you. This just isn't what you expected to happen. It's hard to get into the book though because there isn't a lot to relate to in the characters. A longer book might have done the story more justice.
The premise... Four elderly (60-ish) couples decide to build homes at Paxton Court and retire together there. All the homes a painted shades of purple and the neighbors have mixed reactions. I must admit it was a little difficult for me to think about couples in their twilight being sexually active (at least as active as these folks are), but Salvatore does such a nice job keeping things realistic and tasteful this reader forgot how old the characters are.
This is truly a great love story -- not only within each couple, but between the eight friends. As they deal with one especially troublesome neighbor, they make fast friends with several others who know about and overlook their "lifestyle."
This isn't one I'll keep permanently on my bookshelf, but I'm glad I got the chance to read it.
I would like to give this novel a higher rating because I enjoyed it and Salvatore is a good writer--but this novel just missed it by not being long enough or in depth enough. Part of the problem is that if she was going to make so many characters she needed to make the novel longer so we could identify with them. Most are never shown in enough depth to quite become attached to them. And the ending is rushed. If we were going to feel that Rich was going to choose Rudy over the young and handsome Greg, we needed to SEE the scene where Rich and Rudy come to a greater understanding, not just be told that it happened.
The ending made sense and was even touching in places, but I just didn't feel it because she was skimming over the people. This is still worth reading whether you are gay or not. While there are homophobes in it, decent, understanding straights are plentiful and this is more about learning to live together as human beings than one's sexuality.
Each character is fully developed and I became involved in their stories. It was, for the most part, an upbeat book. The end could have been better.
