"One of the best novels of the year for any grown-up. A terrific, life-affirming read." - Kindle Nation Daily
"Unmentionables is superb gay historical fiction with a contemporary angle; an enlightening look at the hidden elements of our past. Five stars." -- Foreword Clarion Review
"This is a moving and profound novel, exploring the ways in which love counters cruelty in even the harshest of conditions. The characters are beautifully drawn, their feelings and motivations believable and real, their loves alternately heartbreaking and redemptive. Even the minor characters are drawn with the kind of careful detail that makes them spring brilliantly to life." - IndieReader.com
