Title: A Crack in Forever
Author: Jeannie Brewer
Plot: The first half of Brewer's novel sweeps readers up with its intense, minute rendering of a passionate love affair between medical student Eric Moro and artist Alexandra Taylor, whom he meets when modeling for a textbook she is illustrating. Brewer catches well the small, telling moments in the development of love, from initial sensual stirrings through passionate involvement to long-lasting commitment. When Eric learns he has AIDS, the pace slows as Brewer catalogs Alexandra's fears as Eric's condition deteriorates. Eventually, Alexandra must contact Eric's rigid, judgmental family, who have disapproved of their son for as long as he can remember, and then help him fight to preserve his independence as his life drains away.
