| book description |

â€˜A work of geniusâ€™ Philip Hoare â€˜One of the best things Iâ€™ve read in many many yearsâ€™ Hilton Als 'Beautifully provocative ... the most compelling exploration of life, death, love and resistance that I've read for a very long time' Eimear McBride A story of loss and grief, sex and love, and refusing to relinquish dreams He said he would understand if it was too much for me, that I could leave him, that I was young, I should be living, I said to him, I am living. Johnny Grant faces stark life decisions. Seeking answers, he looks back to his relationship with Jerry Field. When they met, nearly thirty years ago, Johnny was 19, Jerry was 45. They fell in love and made a life on their own terms in Jerryâ€™s flat: 1, Nova Scotia House. Johnny is still there today â€“ but Jerry is gone, and so is the world they knew. As Johnnyâ€™s mind travels between then and now, he begins to remember stories of Jerryâ€™s youth: of experiments in living; of radical philosophies; of the many possibilities of love, sex and friendship before the AIDS crisis devastated the queer community. Slowly, he realizes what he must do nextâ€”and attempts to restore ways of being that could be lost forever. Nova Scotia House takes us to the heart of a relationship, a community and an era. It is both a love story and a lament; bearing witness to the enduring pain of the AIDS pandemic and honouring the joys and creativity of queer life. Intimate, visionary, and profoundly original, it marks the debut of a vibrant new voice in contemporary fiction, and a writer with a liberating new story to tell.
