Fiction of Gay Interest
Plot / Content: Rating: G "A picture of provincial life, which among other things, provides a caustic criticism of the irrational and pious bumbledom which punishes with extreme severity the so-called misdemeanours of a homosexual curate yet ignores the infinitely more disastrous consequences of a young wife's loose living while her husband is away fighting. "Tragedy is relieved by the earthy humour and sturdy common sense of various country people undeterred by convention or creed. A story that will appeal to all who, as a guide to life, prefer justice and freedom to a biased tyranny." (from the jacket) Background / Biography: Little is known about Reginald Underwood, other than he wrote several gay-themed novels for the Fortune Press.

"The house in which Mrs Bream lived was more or less a replica of a large number of houses in Lynden. It was one of a red brick row, not particularly old, yet built in the days before the restriction of a building line had to be considered. What had however been very cautiously considered. What had however been very cautiously considered was the profit which had been erected, as he put it, or shoved up, as others put it, without much regard to quality or position. It stood midway between two roadways, having strips of garden both from its front and its back doors. At the ends of the back strips and parallel with the houses was a stretch of smaller buildings, wash-houses and old-fashioned privies (called lavatories by an extremity of modern courtesy) though considering their doors faced directly the back doors of the houses, they were not quite as privy as might have been desired.
