Since today is the first Friday of the year, it’s time to knock off work a tad early to relax at home with a good new novel - #OurEvenings by the wonderful Alan Hollinghurst - which was a #Christmas present from my father.

There is no heartbreak so physical as unrequited passion, that is so unfathomable, it can barely be contained in your own mind. #OurEvenings #AlanHollinghurst #booksky

To think that not long ago, people chose not to enter a new topic in a conversation, because the money in the pay phone was about to run out. #OurEvenings #AlanHollinghurst #booksky

Loving Alan Hollinghurt's OUR EVENINGS. I'm 1/10 of the way through and more engaged by this story than any of his novels since THE LINE OF BEAUTY.

An Exquisite Queer Odyssey by a Literary Master

Just finished #OurEvenings by #AlanHollinghurst and had a little cry. A lovely letter to a gay son and his mother. And what it means to love, and to grow old. Beautifully crafted writing. #BobReads #GayFiction

There are times when #AlanHollinghurst seems to be trapped in a time period—and I’ll happily be trapped with him. #OurEvenings #booksky

Alan Hollinghurst's latest is a triumph. Each night I climb into bed and am drawn immediately back into the story, entirely convinced and delighted and sad. #OurEvenings

Also, an absolutely perfect portrait of British theatre in the last 50 years, where only the names have been changed to protect the innocent. #OurEvenings by #AlanHollinghurst, beautifully read by #SteveJohnShepherd.

The wordless coming out between a mother and her son in the early 1960s. I’m going to miss this book so much.

An excerpt from Alan Hollinghurst’s Our Evenings, in which a young boy coming to terms with his queerness quietly realizes that his mother is in a lesbian relationship: “Mum and Esme kept separate addresses until I left school, and then, much as conscientious parents delay a divorce for the sake of the children, they did the opposite, and moved in together.”

It is eating up my Saturday and I’m going to give it seconds. Do not let Emerald Fenn*ll anywhere near this. #OurEvenings #AlanHollinghurst
Paperback copy of Alan Hollinghurst’s Our Evenings on a shelf at Kinokuniya. On it reclines a man, lit cigarette dangling between his fingers. Ochre light splays across the curtains and the bed.

Decent, not exceptional. Our Evenings did not quite live up to expectations. #alanhollinghurst #ourevenings #ilovereading #ilovetoread #greatnovels #greatliterature #greatbooks booksandliliane.wordpress.com/2025/02/16/3...

My expectations when I started reading Our Evenings were high. I had read glowing reviews on the novel, they made me decide to give Hollinghurst another try after a break of some twenty years. Unfo…

I love a beginning of a narrative that can go anywhere—with a tone and a pace that promise that anywhere will be great. #OurEvenings #AlanHollinghurst #booksky
