Jeff Mann on The Heart’s History

From the talented Jeff Mann (author of Fog: A Novel of Desire and Reprisal and Purgatory: A Novel of the Civil War), who knows a thing or two about love stories, here’s the latest advance review of The Heart’s History:

"Lewis DeSimone’s beautiful novel captures the many facets of contemporary gay life, from sharp humor, long-lasting friendships, and the urban club scene to the insecurities of aging, the uncertainties of romance, and the agonies of a loved one’s loss. It also illuminates a difficult and inescapable truth: we mortals are all elusive mysteries, all in the end unknowable, but that mystery is the very fuel of love."
