Description
In February, UWE Bristol Library is hosting LGBT+ History Month book giveaways, to raise awareness about LGBT+ history, issues surrounding stigma, and people's personal experiences.
We'll be hiding the giveaway books around our campuses, and we'll be posting location clues on our Instagram Stories. If you find a book, it's yours to keep.
This book giveaway features 'The line of beauty' by Alan Hollinghurst. Nick Guest, the twenty-year-old gay protagonist moves into a room in the home of the Feddens – a family of wealthy conservatives who have very different views on homosexuality.
This book explores themes of hypocrisy, privilege, drugs, and homosexuality, with the emerging AIDS crisis forming a backdrop to the book's conclusion.
