Through a complex and layered storyline which is easily accessible, author Tom Crew breathes new life into imagining the personal consequences along of the individual imperatives which ultimately fuel an historical evolution with regards to the increasing awareness of the science of sexuality and its facts versus the mythological and morally-designed descriptions and constructions. The results are absorbing and page-turning, and Tom Crew's scintillating, elegant prose is deeply beautiful and rewarding in and of itself, enhancing the life affirming direction of the narrative's positive outlook on progressive social-political means to propel truth, and therefore enlightenment. Excellent!
