Summer Night Longing

With his age of 68, Erich thought he lacked nothing in life. However, this summer, when he discovers a different side of himself, he comes into conflict with oneself.  
In order to address the questions arising from this conflict, he is forced to question and rediscover his entire self.
When a young man repeatedly crosses his path, his intellectual world goes topsy-turvy. Can a younger man be interested in an older man, or was he just imagining things? A longing arises, taking more and more posession of him.

It's been a month or so since I've finished the book and I still play around with the story in my head.


The Books tells the story of an aging (70s) man that comes to terms with his attraction to men after the death of his wife. He (re)discovers many things he has long forgotten. A love story that deals with intergenerational relationships. Highly recommend if you're into older men and their struggles and daily challenges in finding love.

Wonderful...

I liked to read it, it reminds me when I met my partner. A lot details about the difficulty of life situation and feelings. This reflects the reality of nowadays for some of us.
 Being gay and hiding it and age difference. Hope the writer continues that way.

Loved it

I loved this book and would recomend it to anyone specially to those who are struggling with their sexuallity. And even more if they like people older than them.
Hope we can get more of this from Eric soon.

Very real self discovery about one's sexuality

I enjoyed the story a lot. It reminded me in parts of my own story with my older partner. I wish there was more to the ending if there isn’t a sequel in the works.
