Thanks, and thank you for commenting. It is always good to look back at different times in our lives. Looking back on where we've been, and looking forward to where we are going.

Thanks for commenting. I enjoy memoirs too. Vincent has a very interesting story. Being gay in the 1900s was a whole different world than it is for gay people today. I hope you enjoy his story.

Great review! It really sold the book ๐Ÿ˜Š.
I will definetly read Vincent's memoirs. It sounds like a very interesting life story from which I'm sure we can learn a thing or two.

This sounds interesting! My brother is a closet homosexual. I would love to read about Vincent's struggles and (hopefully) how he was able to overcome them.

This book portraits racism, homophobia. The book is transparent. It's clear what the writer wants. From the beginning, you will understand the writers point of view. He tries to portraits whats happening in our present-day society. Nice job from the writer. The review is well understood.

Trying to be unique in a world that does not accept such kind of uniqueness is really difficult. So here the author took a very rare stance which makes his writing awesome. I would give it a 9 out 10.

The struggle about sexual orientation is a very complicated one and that is a reason a lot of people live in pretence even to their loved ones. I hope Vincent chooses to forgive. Forgiveness sets you free too. Good review.
