"The Rendezvous" is a fictional gay romance between two men of diverse backgrounds (one a bank official and the other a supermarket checkout operator). Set in a provincial English city in Blair's Britain, it charts the progress of the men's affair and provides a microcosm of gay life in the U.K. in the first years of the 21st century. It contains both pathos and humour as the friendship between the two men evolves into a loving gay relationship. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |

The night before at a club, David decided to throw caution to the wind and headed onto the dance floor by himself, moving and swaying to I Will Survive. While dancing away, he noticed a figure approaching, a very handsome man who told him his name was Jonathan. They quickly left the dance floor and chatted away at the bar and eventually returned to David's place for a night of sex. The next morning as Jonathan prepared to leave, David asked if they could see each other again, agreeing to meet later that evening at a small café.
"The Rendezvous" tells the pleasant story of David and Jonathon's relationship, from the awkward first meeting through the subtle ins and outs of getting to know one another. As their relationship grows, through agreeing on an open relationship to moving in together, everything goes right for the couple. And that's the problem with the story. I kept expecting some kind of conflict -- a small fight, perhaps Jonathon cheats on David (or vice versa), David's family not knowing he's gay -- anything to show the characters growing or having to fight for their relationship to continue. It needed just one obstacle to make the story more engaging, but that never surfaced. So instead of a good read, I'm calling it pleasant. ( )
