A brilliant & captivating debut, in the tradition of Alan Hollinghurst & Colm Tóibín, about two marriages, two forbidden love affairs, & the passionate search for social & sexual freedom in late 19th-century London.
In this powerful, visceral novel about love, sex, & the struggle for a better world, two men collaborate on a book in defense of homosexuality, then a crime—risking their old lives in the process.
In the summer of 1894, John Addington & Henry Ellis begin writing a book arguing that what they call “inversion,” or homosexuality, is a natural, harmless variation of human sexuality. Though they have never met, John & Henry both live in London with their wives, Catherine & Edith, & in each marriage there is a third party: John has a lover, a working class man named Frank, & Edith spends almost as much time with her friend Angelica as she does with Henry. John & Catherine have three grown daughters & a long, settled marriage, over the course of which Catherine has tried to accept her husband’s sexuality & her own role in life; Henry & Edith’s marriage is intended to be a revolution in itself, an intellectual partnership that dismantles the traditional understanding of what matrimony means.
Shortly before the book is to be published, Oscar Wilde is arrested. John & Henry must decide whether to go on, risking social ostracism & imprisonment, or to give up the project for their own safety & the safety of the people they love. Is this the right moment to advance their cause? Is publishing bravery or foolishness? And what price is too high to pay for a new way of living?
A richly detailed, insightful, & dramatic debut novel, The New Life is an unforgettable portrait of two men, a city, & a generation discovering the nature & limits of personal freedom as the 20th century comes into view.
