Mili's Post

Michael and his loneliness, his messy life with disoriented relationship with poet and his boyfriend, a queer child and his traumatic relationship with his mother played as background score, all these elements created a tapestry, colour pallet of sadness that is electrifying, and bold. If loneliness can be described then it must be this. Michael is someone who doesn't know what he wants from his life, he is deeply drowned in his trauma, he can pretend to living life, writing poems but I think he doesn't want to do anything, he just wanted to be happy, I think he just wanted to copy writing, pretending to be a poet. He made up a life of a grown man, but I felt he was still the kid, with books on his head standing, completing the demand of his mother. His friend, the poet's death and illness gave him power to remove himself from the tangle of loneliness, yearning for love, and finally he didn't act clingy, he chose to change his life. A powerful homage to queer novel, recommending for Pride Month Read. #Theladylivesinbook #Pridemonth2026🏳️‍🌈 #Pride🌈 #WomenPrizeForFiction Womens Prize Short List, Queer Novels, Loneliness
