This is Edward: architect, friend, lover, mystery. Everyone has their own Edward, a kaleidoscope of images struggling to define a man who has never let anyone get too close. But now, Edward is dying, and all of his loved ones are desperate to understand him, to connect fully with him, before it's too late. In this beautiful and haunting novel, Lewis DeSimone, author of the acclaimed Chemistry, explores the hidden depths of love, the struggle to maintain a balance between connection and individuality. Edward's illness is set against the backdrop of a sea change in gay culture, a time when AIDS is assumed to be simply a manageable condition, and when the drive for assimilation through marriage, or the military has begun to trump the distinct characteristics that were once a source of pride. Deftly shifting perspectives to paint a compelling portrait of a man and a community on the cusp of a critical transition, The Heart's History gives hope that, despite the impossibility of ever achieving true oneness with another person, it is the attempt itself that gives life its greatest joy.

Through the memories of Edward, the reader will now also the lives of these men, their childhood memories, how they changed and readapted to the changes of the world around them, like an osmosis, opening, inglobing, and making them the changing. And maybe in the end, maybe some of them will be able to finally accept Robert among them, when the reason for that acceptance, Edward, is gone, maybe that will be the time to realize that Robert is now one of the family.
There were moments when I was hoping for the impossible, for the turn of the events allowing Robert and Edward to have an happily ever after, but it was a feeble hope, cause I know that those 5 years were the only time they had together, and Robert had to enjoy every minute of it, and building through the memories of Edward’s friends, his own memories to last for the remaining of his life.
