Hello everyone!!
Today I am really excited to share with you the book No Way, They Were Gay? by Lee Wind which is a non-fiction about the queer history. It is published by Lerner Publishing Group.
MY REVIEW
I enjoyed reading this book as I learned a lot of things that I haven't known before about all these famous queer people. There is very useful information at the introductory chapters.
The book is well written in a simple way that everyone can understand. It would be a great gift for younger readers and adults alike.
About the book:
History has often ignored men who loved men, women who loved women, and people who lived outside gender boundaries. In 'No Way, They Were Gay?: Hidden Lives and Secret Loves', author Lee Wind examines primary source letters, poems, and more to rethink the lives and loves of historical figures. Our Queer history has been burned, torn up, hidden, disrespected, coded, and only very rarely shared. 'No Way, They Were Gay?' sets aside all that, and lets the voices of these people from history speak for themselves. With reproductions of primary sources and chatty “pop up” commentaries, it’s an eye-opening ride through the history they’ve been keeping from us. And every reader gets to decide for themselves what they believe.
Disclaimer: I was lucky enough to receive an eARC of this book by Bookstagrammers.com and the publisher. All opinions are my own.
See you in the next post and don't forget to keep reading!!!
