This is so beautiful, Kara - I'm absolutely mesmerized by the imagining of yourself and Nick as Hadrian and Antinous. I recognize the name of Marguerite Yourcenar, and I'm wracking my brain to think if I've read this book before - maybe when I was also reading some of Mary Renault's?
Elegant imagery and so fabulously imaginative and real at the same time.
Thank you, Nina!

Thank you so much! I’ve not heard of Mary Renault.
Oh, so many good novels!!
So, intriguing — and about love and Hadrian and “the perilous wife”— great phrase …
Thank you, Mary!
