Status Updates From The Crichel Boys: Scenes fr...

Am now hopping about reading random bits, because that's the kind of book this is and who i am as a person. It's a fascinating book, but I've slowed right down.

I knew about the Beaulieu trial vaguely, but had never gone into it. I even have a copy of Peter Wildeblood's (one of those arrested) book 'Against the Law', which I haven't read. The harassment of gay people after WWII in England was disgusting. And it's salutary just how fast sentiment swung around, as society had been quite permissive between the wars and in the 40s. Great chapter, this one.

Not going to lie: the first couple of chapters were as confusing as ... I don't know ... the by-roads of Dorset during the War.
Very confusing, is what I'm saying.

But it's hit its stride now, and I'm really enjoying it.
