That’s how we met. A bookshop in Paris. A woman introduces herself as Gertrude and tells me I do not want to purchase the book I’m perusing, as it’s impossibly bleak and, in the end, the protagonist is murdered! I spent my next decades hiding what I was reading, as she couldn’t help but spoil the ending of every novel or night at the theatre.

A happy ending was imperative. I shouldn’t have bothered to write otherwise. I was determined that in fiction anyway two men should fall in love and remain in it for the ever and ever that fiction allows, and in this sense, Maurice and Alec still roam the greenwood. - E.M. Forster
