Different Kind of Love

Jay Mandal is unique in his writing of gay love - his uplifting stories focus upon romance rather than sex, on fulfilment rather than despair. Of course, there are tragedies in these pages. Life's like that. But the difficulties faced and the thrills enjoyed by his characters are the lot of lovers of any gender in a world both bad and beautiful. In this groundbreaking book you will read of love . slightly - but only superficially - different from that more traditionally featured in tales of boy meets girl. Difficulties overcome by homosexual partners are not magnified out of proportion to those faced by partners of opposite sex. More than any other collection, this thought-provoking work will introduce the heterosexual reader to the meaning of true gay love, and will afford the gay reader a sigh of relief that - at last - a popular, respected and serious author has cast aside threadbare issues of hatred, brutality, perversion, prejudice and misunderstanding to get to the very heart of the matter . the honest to goodness love between human beings who ask little more of life than that. Perhaps the title of this collection should carry a question mark: no intelligent reader - of whatever sexual persuasion - can fail to close Jay's book without asking . "Well, what's so 'different' about this kind of love after all?" This is an exclusive and important collection of beautiful love stories, sad, humorous, heartwarming - and made 'different' simply because key characters share, not only passion and compassion, but gender. Jay Mandal's 'A Different Kind of Love' will go a long way toward making the love he writes of no longer needful of the qualifying word, 'different', in a world where anykind of true love is to be treasured.
