The Buckland-in-the-Vale and Sandstone Tor Gay Book Club by John Wiltshire

But here he has written a book that both mocks the very idea of the gay romance novel, while also defining the means by which a romantic individual can survive in a cynical world.Īdam Sandstone Rory McGrath are both young gay men living in an isolated, but entirely charming small town in Devonshire. I have often found his books difficult to read, because they offend my romantic outlook on the world. John Wiltshire is not a writer of romances, at least as some folks define them. I am also a romantic, and for nearly 41 years have lived with a man who is not romantic in the least. I’ve loved romance novels since I was a teenager, and have always enjoyed the company of old ladies. I’ve loved old houses and libraries since I was a boy. The Buckland-in-the-Vale and Sandstone Tor Gay Book Club (Inaugural Meeting) As for the juvenile antics of the *coughs* officers at Sandhurst, the less said the better. Loved Rory and the Old Dears.ooh, and Fat Sam of course 😉 5 stars from me.Īdam? Well, a bit of a Dick with a capital D, and he deserves everything he gets as far as ribbing from practically everyone is concerned, Rory in particular is playing him like a fiddle but let's hope he grows up and comes to his senses soon. John is certainly ringing the changes lately with his stories, and I for one can't wait for the next instalment to appear. It couldn't be more different to the More Heat than the Sun series, but in a really good way. What a sweet, feel good story this was from John, set once more in his beloved Devon. He said there would be more Ben and Nik stories, and I can only hope he will honour that promise.maybe his muse has done a runner or life in general is too hectic for any new stories at the mo, but a little more info would give all of us Wiltshire fans a huge boost please John 🙏🙏🙏***

Yes, we know that John has moved back to the UK from New Zealand.but other than that? Zilch, zip, nada. God, isn't it amazing to think that we've gone 4 years without a new John Wiltshire story.
