A time to live

Jim Brogan's 'A Time To Live' is as enjoyable as it is honest and wise. It's a 'must read' for the gay community because, finally, here is a book concerned with the problems of ageing, especially those of sex, affection, and grief in an AIDS-haunted San Francisco. The main character, Brian, becomes vastly richer through his need to accept the inevitabilities of maturing the 1990s... as does the reader of this engrossing, well-told tale that dares embrace the intrigue of reality itself.
