Summary: Absolutely Irresistible!
Review: Definitely one of my favourites. Hunt has created a wonderful protagonist in Willie Smith. Willie is a marvellous character, beautiful, loves make-up, warm, loving and simply irresistible.
His life as a harlot with a silver lining is touching and heart felt. The background of the story, depicting the slums, the wealthy, is richly crafted. Disappointed that the book is out of print but grateful that I have a copy. Because of Sweet Lavendar, Hunt is now one of my must-read authors.

Summary: Absolutely Wonderful, The Best I've Read in a While
Review: This book read likes watching a film. A very good film. You are immediately caught up into the story and life of Willie Smith, a rascal of the first order, yet very lovable, engaging and deserving of sympathy as well as cheers. A boy who grows to young manhood in a world of secret vice and poverty who learns ultimately about himself, his desires, and his nature. Through his struggles, hardships, heartbreak, tears, laughter and triumph you will be completely immersed in a most pleasant way by Hunt's writing style, occasionally witty or ironic, but always enjoyable. The book is clearly and well written, images are vivid as are the characters, both primary and secondary, and the ending is pleasant surprise. You close the book smiling. I know I certainly did. For those who look for a good love story no matter the genders involved, this is the book to buy. I certainly will look for other books from Christ Hunt in the future.
