Author(s): Noel Virtue

Gay Fiction

Ruth Rendell has described much-loved NZ writer Noel Virtue as âÂÂa master of true comedy" whose new book "may well be his best novel to date". Focusing on blues singer Jean Barrie and her haven for eccentric souls â in particular a gawky young gay man â âÂÂLady Jeanâ is a gem of quirky humour and dark tragedy.
