To the Boathouse could be described as a sequel to E. M. Forster's Maurice. But it is more than that. The saga begins on the eve of the First World War in 1914 and ends in New York during the destruction of the World Trade Center on 9/11. Many themes emerge: New York during the sexual revolution of the 1970s and AIDS, Princeton and Cambridge, Santa Fe and Brooklyn, plus a rich cast of Cuban and Hispanic characters, all woven together to form what might be called a history of emotional expression and social change. But most of all it becomes a happy ending version of Edmund White's Farewell Symphony, the story of intimacy and devotion tested over time.
