"Hadrian's Lover is a stunning novel about a dystopian society disguised as a utopian one...it raises difficult questions about right and wrong, government control, and an individual's right to express himself freely and be accepted for his sexual preference, regardless of what it is." - Tyler R. Tichelaar, PH.D. and author of the award-winning Narrow Lives What if you liv ...more

Wow, I don't quite know where to start because Hadrian's Lover is perhaps one of the heaviest and most disturbing books that I have ever read. Set in Hadrian, a fictional futuristic country in what used to be Canada, Hadrian is a seemingly Utopian country created purely for homosexuals. Heterosexuality has been outlawed, the population is tightly controlled, all embryos are screened and any showing heterosexual chromosomes are destroyed. Perhaps most disturbingly anyone caught engaging in hetero ...more
In a posited future a section of present day Canada has become a refuge for gay and lesbian persons. Christened Hadrian, after the Roman Emperor, it is a utopian project, not only providing sanctuary for sexual minorities but endeavoring to govern justly and to provide social and economic equality. In Hadrian it is illegal to be heterosexual.
What happens then if you are born heterosexual? The central narrative of this novel is just that, if homosexuality can't be "cured" could it be any differ ...more
3.5 stars! Note, this book is not for the faint-hearted. Though not explicitly written, some things may disturb you.
In the year 21--, the planet is finally breaking under overpopulation, humans reaching a stunning twenty billion in numbers. In the midst of chaos and starvation, the newly founded country Hadrian invites homosexuals from all over the world to join their sustainable and ecological haven, since extremists threaten their lives. Here you need not worry about starvation, lack of resour ...more
Hadrian's Lover wouldn't have found its way onto my Kindle if it wasn't for the fulsome praise it received on 'So So Gay'. It's actually the sort of book I contemplated writing - tables turned on sexual norms and all that sort of thing - although I hadn't taken the plot development any further. So I'm bound to say at the outset that the basic premise is a good one and it's hats off to the author for delivering the goods. I don't think I'd offer the same sort of praise to the publisher, though, a ...more

Heavy-hitting, poignant and deeply disturbing, this novel details the lives of several characters living with the xenophobic "country" of Hadrian, a homosexual "utopia." In a world where heterosexuality is shunned and illegal, budding youth must contend with their own desires and sexual awakenings. "Strais" must be wary not to be uncovered, for fear of being placed into brutal reeducation camps. A must-read, in my opinion, especially for an understanding of what life is like for a sexual minorit ...more
I loved this book. I had to put it down quite often because of the strong emotions it invoked. Heartbreaking is a good descriptor.

Imagine a world that has fallen into chaos because of overpopulation and global warming; according to many, this future is unavoidable unless drastic measures are taken to prevent it. Now imagine Hadrian, a land of peace and plenty in a newly-temperate zone in what was once Canada, including Hudson Bay. This country features gender equality, political stability, a “green” economy, universally-accessible health care and education. Who wouldn’t want to live there?
This is the setting for a fantasy ...more

Imagine the world in a century’s time – there are many studies and scientists that say that our biggest problem as a global community is overpopulation caused by unsustainable and unregulated population growth. This, combined with environmental factors and food requirements, could potentially end the human race in the next generation or two. This is where Hadrian’s Lover suggests a way of making sure that the human race continues – a homosexual country, where heterosexual urges are removed from ...more

Loved this book. One of the best dystopian novels I've read in the last 10 years. As important as George Orwell's 1984 and Ayn Rand's Anthem and Atlas Shrugged a book to be read by our generation and shared with our children. A huge undertaking on the surface, but a simple story of acceptance. Thanks for the read Patricia! ...more
