If this really is nonfiction I feel like she should have let some people keep their secrets!

“I started the first chapter of the cats of the confederacy,” Sue said, stroking a diabetic, feline named Flurry Belle. “We wear gray ribbons with cat pins and get together, and tell stories about cats in the war.”

I am about halfway through and I realized I just don’t care.

Very conservative and assimilationist so far. I also dislike the author’s portrayal of Gaetan Dugas as some type of villain. He wasn’t patient zero. That was a misinterpretation of a report that said “Patient O” as in Out of California. This book did a lot of harm to his family and friends and he was just trying to live his life like a lot of other queer people at the time.

I am having a hard time finishing this book because Mr. Thornton is such a controlling, manipulative, intolerable tyrant. I just know Margaret will end up with him and I don’t like it.
