▎我們的終點只有彼此，以及，更幸福的一年。
在同性戀仍被當作犯罪行為的20世紀初英國，出生於中產階級的青年墨利斯，與出身貴族家庭的劍橋大學的同窗克萊夫展開祕戀。然而兩人的愛情不敵現實的考驗，克萊夫最終選擇了門當戶對的富家千金，這段戀情只能無疾而終……
分手後的兩人維持著友好關係，墨利斯卻獨自陷入憂鬱和自我懷疑。直到他在因緣際會下認識了家僕斯卡德，愛情的衝動在他的心中重新點燃。這一次，同樣要面對階級與性別的鴻溝，墨利斯能得到不一樣的結局嗎？
/////
在同性戀尚未除罪化、不被社會所接受的時代中，為了避開「猥褻」的罪名，當時的同志文學多帶有悲劇元素，然而在如此時空背景下，佛斯特仍執意賦予《墨利斯的情人》幸福的結局。這是一本勇氣之書，宛如黑暗中照亮前行的溫柔燈塔，鼓勵我們勇敢捍衛幸福的權利。

Uma história sobre identidade e amor...\n\nMaurice fala mais do que sobre relacionamentos entre dois homens, fala sobre identidade e como a nossa sexualidade faz parte de quem somos, não é doença e definitivamente não é uma ""escolha"".\n\nAmei a forma como ele termina ciente de que pode até ser que a relação não dure para sempre, mas que seria pior viver uma mentira e não arriscar tudo por uma noite de verdadeira felicidade!
Probably a 3.5
Everything goes well and then your lover falls terribly ill, travels without you and hits you with: "Against my will i have become normal. I cannot help it" then falls in love with your sister and becomes homophobic
I think i wanted to love this book a bit too hard. I loved the movie, the storie, the characters. Maybe the writing style was not my cup of tea, or it wasn't fitting for this book. But I understand why it's such an important part of queer literature.
I was a bit lost and confused at times, but maybe it's just me. I think watching the movie before really helps you picture everything better and it was lacking in that sense for me. The writing felt... flat? For once in my life, i'm finding myself yarning for erotism in a book. Or anything that would have made it feel more lively. I continued it but it was starting to be really long.
