About this title: This novel takes place almost entirely in a backstreet homosexual bar frequented by a motley collection of world-weary regulars. The bar is presided over by the owner, Madame, who looks after her boys, ensuring that the haven remains inviolate. Then one day an innocent young man walks in.

"Liked this. Was impressed by combination of poetry and fact that it was written like a guy telling a story in a bar; found everything very -- yes, immediate. Also approved of Londonness. Thought the strongest part was where the Boy brought his Father home and how they dealt with that."
"An older man called "O" (for older man) and Boy meet in a bar and develop a relationship throughout the course of the novel. The bar becomes the focal point of the story and the people who work in the bar become like one big family. An excellent secondary plot of gays who are murdered add to the story. Bartlett weaves a story of love for the main characters and also the secondary characters. Very rich in plot development as life revolves around this bar. Kept me wondering if O and Boy would make it. Even Boy's Mother is odd! A very good read! :)"
