Where You Belong Book

This book is awesome.

The author, Mr. Dilloway, has woven a beautiful narrative through the often troubled life of Frost Devereaux. From his mother and father's terrible relationship to how he gets manipulated by the Maguire twins, the events that unfold are heart-wrenching.

Really, all Frost wants is to be loved and to not have to live a life alone. This yearning causes him to bounce between Frankie, the woman who taught him passion with A Streetcar Named Desire to Frank(her twin brother) who engages him in a homosexual relationship and marriage in a tumultuous climax that recalls the civil rights riots of the 1960's. The events that happen that break Frost's marriage are understandable but tragic. Mr. Dilloway knows what love is and knows how to write it so that when it all comes crashing down, it's like watching some beautiful piece of art being destroyed in front of your eyes and you are helpless to do anything.

The last thing I want to say is that Mr. Dilloway is highly original with his narrative (and completely faithful to his characters and their flaws). Frost never learns and never listens and follows his heart to the very last page which is what makes him so loveable as a character. If you are looking for a book that smacks of the Cider House Rules but addresses the issues of modern times up to and including what happened in 9/11 at Ground Zero and the gay marriage debate, you should check out this book.
