RADICAL LOVE - NEIL BLACKMORE KARTONIERT (TB)

'Neil Blackmore re-imagines a story of gay men in London 200 years ago and under the pain of
their betrayal and injustice  he uncovers loyalty and above all  love' Ian McKellen 'An
imaginative  layered  clever story' The Times London  1809. By day  minister John Church
preaches to a congregation of commonfolk in Southwark. By night  he is drawn to the secretive 
alluring world of a molly house on Vere Street. There  ordinary men reinvent themselves as
outrageous queens  lads on the make flirt with labourers and princes alike  and John finds
himself ordaining marriages between men. When he meets the unworldly and free-thinking Ned  one
of a group of African abolitionists who attend his chapel  John falls in love with Ned's tender
nature and discovers how quickly desire can turn to obsession. Based on the true story of one
of the most important events in queer history  Radical Love is a sensuous and prescient story
about gender and sexuality  and how the most vulnerable survive in dangerous times. 'I was
staggered by this book  one of the boldest novelistic explorations of desire I have read in
some time' Keiran Goddard  author of Hourglass 'Compellingly real' Daily Mail
