It's 3.30 in the morning and I just finished to cry. No, not worry, I'm not sad, I'm only sapply happy. I read a book that maked my cry like a fountain and I'm happy... and I can't stop yawning.

1977. Danny is a little skinny guy with a good voice but with a lot of emotional issues. He is gay, even if he can't admit it with the world and even with himself. But when he lays his eyes on Jeff, he falls in love head over heels. Jeff is a guitarist; really he is not a pretty boy, rather the opposite, but when he plays he is beautiful. At least for Danny. So beautiful that Danny decides to put up a band only to have the chance to be near Jeff. And he remains near him even when Jeff gets married.

But Danny's unrequited love can't be hidden for long and he needs to tell Jeff. And then start a slowly fall toward hell. Cause even if he would say it neither under torture, Jeff is gay. True he has never considered Danny as a possible lover before the man proposes to him. And true, it's not simple for him to accept all this, but Danny is like a drugs and Jeff seems to be addictive. While he continues to bring on a marriage with an almost bitch, and procreates three kids, he also continues to return everytime to Danny. Oh, he says to himself it's only lust, it's not love. And he doesn't realize that he is slowly killing Danny. And when he is forced to choose between his career and sons against Danny, he chooses to free himself from his addiction, and while finally he admits with Danny to love him, the same day he leave him to his lonely fate. But Danny is not so strong as Jeff is thinking, and he is addicted to another type of drug, a real drug that allows him to forget everything and above all himself.

The Far Away Years is a very long and involving book. It deals with the glam rock era and with a period when sex, drugs and rock and roll were still thing that didn't kill you, unless you didn't take to much of all of them. And Danny passed all of them, beginning with rock and roll, passing through sex and arriving to drugs, all too much, always putting too much of him in them, never thinking first at him. But for all the book Danny is all the same, he is a nice guy who needs only to be love. And even if he doesn't say it aloud, he is always asking for love, with all himself.

Who instead goes through a big changing is Jeff. Truth be told, I don't like very much the Jeff of the first part of the book. He is a selfcentered bastard. He can't see how much Danny needs him, and he only thinks to what is good for him. And sincerely if not for a third part intervention, I think he would not opened his eyes. But when he opens that eyes, he makes a very good choice. So good Jeff, you save your image in front of him, still you could do that also before...

The Far Away Years is a romance, but it's not an erotic romance. There is sex, but it's almost chaste, made of things not said rather than graphic details. But sincerely I don't feel the lack of sex, and some images are very tender and romantic.
