From the opening pages of this book, the authors pulls us into the story, grabs our heart and attaches it to his creations…his characters until you are just so sure that you have know these men all your life. Perry, a young struggling artist, has taken up residence in a Victorian-era boardinghouse, complete with a cast of eccentric and mysterious residents that would rival any cast the likes of which Agatha Christie had ever put on paper. When Perry’s vacation is cut short, he returns to his apartment only to find a dead body in his bathtub—a body wearing yellow socks. Thus begins an adventure that would include ghost hunting, secret passages, hidden loot squirreled away by the mob and, of all things, love. From one intense moment to another, we watch as Perry falls deeper and deeper in love with the Nick, an ex Navy seal who is trying his best to turn his life around. A life that will not include some frail young man with the eyes of a fawn and a laugh that send shivers down Nick’s spine…such lovely shivers. That’s right a life that will not, should not, cannot, oh dear, who are we kidding? Up until the last lines of this novel we sit on the edge of our seats wondering just what will happen to these two men. During the course of this novel, a novel so well crafted that the love shared by these two men never overshadow but instead augment the thrill of the mystery itself—all the time we read we feel more and more like we have known these people all our lives. We have walked these hall, we have felt Perry’s pain, have lived on the cusp of a new and fragile love. This is the power of a great novel…a power that grabs you by the throat and grips your heart and takes you on the best ride you have ever had without ever leaving your living room. I love this book because it dares to say that despite all that life can manage to throw at you, there is love waiting there as well. That no matter how hard you fall, someone will catch you, someone will care for you, someone is watching out for you. In closing, I want to thank Mr. Lanyon, not only excellent story telling, but for the gift of a hopeful happy ever after…something so many of us need…something so many of us look for in our favorite books.

What a great story of WWII and how differently individuals faced difficulty in a small village. The unusual letter writing format for the book was delightful...

The compelling cast of characters and folk wisdom keeps this series delightful to read.
I remember being very proud when I finished this, because it was the first book I read from cover to cover in just two days. It may have also been the last.

i read this book, i loved this book...well, technically, i only read/loved half of it...you see, half the chapters are about jeff buckley; the other half are about his father, tim buckley...guess which ones i didn't read?
I read this book about 15 years ago and I still love it. So much so that I have a copy of my own. Children's poetry for adults too? This is it.

Read as part of my May Category Challenge. This book had me, squirming and squealing in places. It took me past some of my comfort zones but surprisingly it worked. I liked that Travis quickly figured out what made Roe tick and worked to give him that even though underneath it all he loved him, letting Roe get to that realization on his own. There were some moments when I thought Roe was not going to fight himself for what he wanted, but in the end love blindsided him anyway. Overall a very good read. I will definitely read more of Cullinan's work.
