The Theater of Emerald Tears by Nix Winter

[reviews_and_ramblings]

Setting in the '30 in an America where alcohol is forbidden and homosexual love leads to death, it's the story of Irish, a wanna-be teacher who smuggles rum, and of Sunny, an half japanese orphan who was sold to gangster Biagiotti as accountant.

Both work for Biagiotti and one day the gangster give Sunny as prize for one day to Irish. But what start as a misery ends in love and Sunny and Irish try to build a new life together far from New York. But the past has no intention to set them free.

A tender story, with less or nothing sex, but with intense feelings. It's a novelty for the Nix Winter I know, but it's not a bad novelty. It's also an inusual setting, even if it's pretty short and you can have a good idea of how the author deals with an homosexual story setting in an historic period. 

Nevertheless, I like reading it and with the others two story of this anthology, it's a good reading.
