The island city of Montreal comes to life in vivid, loving detail in this poignant novel. A young schoolteacher confronts both change and stagnation in his life, navigating the city’s streets in constant search of human connection. As he experiences the thrills and heartbreak of being a gay man in a time of liberation, past fears and insecurities hold him back from finding what he’s looking for.

I loved this novel that’s filled with yearning.  

From Eddy's list on books set on atmospheric islands.
