Time Was by Ian McDonaldMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I was fortunate enough to not read the misleading book blurb or the Goodreads spoiler blurb. Letting the book tell you about itself is probably the best way to experience it. That said, I kind of liked it but did not love it. It is a book-based time-travel/gay romance/mystery that unfolds pretty slowly and ends in a mild but not earthshaking twist. Our main character is kind of feckless for most of the book, and his semi-helpless singlemindedness is somewhat hard to like. It's a very literary book in a genre that doesn't value literature over ideas, so...hard to get excited about it, but I'm not sorry I read it.
