### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Extraordinary adventures in France.
  

*by T***Y on 14 April 2018*









  
  
    This remains my favourite of Anthony McDonald's books; I have read it several times since I first discovered it; but hearing it read by the author gives it new life and vibrancy. McDonald's relating of the extraordinary events that overtake the young protagonist kept me spellbound. Add to that McDonald's own piano interludes and you have a delightful, exciting and sometimes disturbing package.

    Magnificent!
  

*by G***Y on 25 January 2018*









  
  
    This is the best coming-of-age gay novel that I have ever read. It is a comprehensive appreciation of love and life which spans two cultures, rural life, music, adolescents and mature wisdom. From the twenty-two year old with learning difficulties and a preoccupation with his sexuality through the natural uncertainties of teenagers to the wisdom of an acclaimed (gay) musician this presents an invaluable guide to any teenager doubting his sexual orientation.  Some of the later notions - such as Adam and Michael deciding to go it alone in Paris at the end - are far fetched but you must make your own mind up on that. As for the sequel ‘Blue Sky Adam’ Do you really want to read on? I am not so sure.

    A fast-paced romp through the French countryside
  

*by G***Y on 10 June 2016*









  
  
    This is an easy, fast-paced read. The story is about a middle-class English teenager who moves to France with his family, falls in love with a local man, and the unfolding of their eventful affair. The teenager is a charming and rounded character. His lover is presented as something of a force of nature, though not entirely believeably. That aside, the story romps along with enough saucy sex scenes between the two main characters to keep your interest up. The supporting characters are sketched in, ripe for fuller devepment in the sequel - which, to my mind, works more successfully than this novel. Still, an enjoyable romp through the French countryside.As with many of this author's books, there are classical musical references and, occasionally, vernacular French phrases throughout. They are part of establishing characters, setting and plot. While I imagine a degree of musical knowledge and some knowledge of French would speed a reader through these, don't let this put you off reading the book. I think the author knows his likely audience is up to the modest challenge.
