The Inverts

€10.90

1921: a boy, a girl, a moonlit midnight kiss.

A terrible, repulsive kiss.

Bettina and Bart have grown up as best friends, so surely they will end up together? After all, Bettina is young, rich, headstrong.... and gay. Bart is young, rich, charismatic... and also, definitely, gay. Any doubts are dispelled by, in short order: that ghastly kiss; a torrid encounter for Bettina in the school boiler-rooms; and an eye-opening Parisian visit for Bart.

Society will never stand for it. What else can they do but enter into a 'lavender marriage' and carry on indulging their true natures in secret? As the '20s and '30s whizz past in a haze of cigarettes, champagne and casual sex, Bart and Bettina have no idea that they are hurtling, via Hollywood and Egypt, Paris and London, towards tragedy and bloodshed...

"A glorious celebration of queer friendship and all kinds of love. Funny, outrageous, heartbreaking and so much fun," Kate Davies, winner of the Polari Prize.

Product description

1921. gads: zēns, meitene, mēness apspīdēts pusnakts skūpsts.

Briesmīgs, atbaidošs skūpsts.

Betina un Bārts ir uzauguši kā labākie draugi, vai viņi noteikti saies kopā? Galu galā Betina ir jauna, bagāta, stūrgalvīga... un lesbiete.

Bārts ir jauns, bagāts, harizmātisks... un gejs. Visas šaubas īsā laikā tiek kliedētas: šis ir drausmīgs skūpsts.

Sabiedrība to nekad neizturēs. Ko gan citu viņi var darīt, kā vien noslēgt "lavandas laulību" un turpināt slepenībā izdabāt savai patiesajai būtībai? Kamēr 20. un 30. gadi aizrit cigarešu, šampanieša un gadījuma seksa dūmakā, Bārtam un Betinai nav ne jausmas, ka viņi caur Holivudu un Ēģipti, Parīzi un Londonu dodas traģēdijas un asinsizliešanas virzienā...

"Krāšņi svētki dīvainai draudzībai un visa veida mīlestībai. Smieklīgi, nežēlīgi, sirdi plosoši un tik jautri," Keita Deivisa, Polari Balvas ieguvēja.
