Summary

Mootoo is one of the most significant and prestigious authors in contemporary Caribbean letters. The novel explores LGBT themes, particularly transgender themes. In the wake of the success of Jamaican author Marlon James, who famously came out of the closet last year in the NY Times, and lesbian Jamaican author Nicole Dennis-Benn, there is increasing interest in novels that portray LGBT issues from a Caribbean perspective. This book was long-listed for Canada's Scotiabank Giller Prize, and short-listed for a Lambda Literary Award (based upon its original Canadian publication.) Simultaneous publication of paperback and e-book editions. Broad appeal across age groups. Galleys (and e-galleys via Edelweiss) available in September. Digital Reading Group Guide available from Akashic's website. Galley display & giveaways at BEA and ALA Annual
Available since: 05/02/2017.

I detest him and want him at the same time.But I can’t let myself get fooled. No, all alphas are bad.

    Best friends Shenin and Tyler didn't mean to fall in love. Though, does anyone? A friendship-turned love affair is hard enough to navigate through; throw in IEDs and gun battles, along with the separation that inevitably comes with life in the military and you're asking for trouble. This is uncharted territory for both of them; Tyler has been openly gay for years, whilst Shenin has always dated men. With the government's Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy, it's a path that could endanger both of their careers but realising they cannot live without each other, they take it all on to prove that love really can win.
