Full review
i have many books by Leslea Newman so when this one came out i went out to buy it straight away! The jacket was bright and eye-catching (designed by Newman's lover, Yohah Ralph) and the blurb on the back cover promised an exciting read!
The book was extremely funny and tongue in cheek and proved to be a exciting read. The story is about the authors long distance relationship with her ex-lover, Harvey Milk and reproduces some of the letters they send to each other. They overcome their past differences at the start of the book, as Newman stopped talking to him when she realised she could surpress her gay feelings no more. She then, with the aid of her present lover rekindles their friendship. The book documents their lives and culminates in a meeting of the two couples, Newman with Ralph and Milk with his wife, Lindsay. Although clearly aimed at the discerning gay reader, A Letter To Harvey Milk could be read and enjoyed by anyone with an open mind and an eye for a good book!
