From gilded youth to thirty-something. Young gay couple Tom and Christopher are steering through the minefield of changes in social and sexual mores of the 1960s and ’70s. Experimentation is the keynote of the age and Tom and Christopher dive in with a will as they move in and out of relationships and jobs in Britain and France, Channel-hopping and bed-hopping through the years. The precocious Angelo, still only thirteen at the start of the book, seems destined to create havoc with their lives at every turn, while – with echoes of Dorian Grey – they are perpetually haunted by the disappeared portrait of their young selves as David and Jonathan.This is the second novel in The Dog In The Chapel series. The third will appear in August 2016.

Special Edition Tom & Christopher And Their Kind (Dog In The Chapel Book 2) with Free PDF EDITION!

I had begun to re-read some Anthony McDonald stories and (choosing from the ones I remembered as “favorites”) again very much enjoyed “Dog in the Chapel)—and discovered I had not been aware that it was the beginning of a three-part series. Now I wish that I hadn’t noticed that. The first of the three parts is a delightful story of new love under difficult circumstances, forging a powerful feeling of an unusually strong love. (It is perhaps important that you already know or read that story in order to make much sense of my response to the subsequent parts.)Very briefly, (in stories two and three; Tom & Christopher And Their Kind and Dog Roses) struggles lead the new lovers into a situation where their financial needs cause them to accept an opportunity to get free housing (where they can begin to learn to make a living) but only if they cooperate with the expectation of fairly free sex among the other housemates. Discussions bring up an example of some other gay couples who have lived such a life for a time without damaging their basic relationship. The younger, less mature member of the couple seems to decide “OK” (after having his mother and her church describe him as a “no good” anyway) and the other goes along. At first they decide that this “extended” sex occur only when both members of “our young lovers” are present, but this is soon transgressed and gradually leads to loose styles of sexual activity to include a period (six years?) when there’s a “big boyfriend swap” where the older members of two couples become sex partners and so do the two younger members.By this point I’m suffering to see that what I thought was a strong, young, beautiful relationship is defraying/tattering into cheapness. I am Disappointed, Disgusted, and ANGRY with the couple (and, essentially of course, with the author). Eventually confronting a symbol of their love (a painted picture of themselves) seems to remind the two of what they’ve lost and they return to their original couples; but perhaps it’s too late as the story continues for years with “extra” affairs primarily on the part of the younger boy/man, seemingly condoned (when known) by the older. It appears their “love life” is at best mundane. Never is there much concern expressed regarding the hurt that would happen if the affairs were discovered—only the problems and the need to cover. And both members are uncertain about its status, to the extent of feeling the other might one day just come and say: “It’s been a good run but time move on; see ya …”The story continues toward old age with many jobs, moves, etc., during which they remain together but where there’s very little expression of “loving, lusty sex” between the original pair (“ecstasy” mentioned only with one of the “quickies” ). (Anthony is never Big with expressing actual sexual activity.). Much prose is given Anthony travelogue of places, foliage and birdlife, which I find I enjoy only when it’s a setting for enhancing the love relationship. Here I got bored enough of sometimes skip ahead . . .Somehow, things always t”urn out all right” to the extent where they’re still together, so at the end we have some summation/celebration of how profound a love this was: “The Word’—(i.e. God) is LOVE.’So: What Happened?: Perhaps I misunderstood that the original love was NOT that special? . . . (maybe I just wanted it to be). Let me be clear that I’m no angel nor a prude; but LOVE includes more fidelity, more regard for the other’s feelings, more care to minimize hurt, more willingness to express amends, some sacrifice of minor, immediate emotional desires, etc. As much as I esteem Anthony McDonald, I really believe that he seriously messed this one up. I think he lost track, somehow, of the main theme of a strong, supportive ongoing lifetime love and left out (or assumed?) the ongoing expression of love/lust with one’s partner. I remain saddened by that.
