About this audiobook

A young priest falls in love with the boy who serves at his altar, and says so. The story follows what that confession sets in motion. John Francis Bloxam wrote it for an Oxford student magazine, The Chameleon, in 1894. It is an unusually direct story of same-sex love for its day, told in the language of the church and written when such feelings could not be named in public. Paul Silver reads it in just over an hour. For readers interested in early gay literature and in the Victorian church.
