It took me way too long to read this. Just too much goofing off this summer and not reading. Or maybe it was because I didn't want this one to end? The Great Believers is about the AIDS epidemic in Chicago in the mid-1980s. The focus is on Yale, a young man who is in a group of friends who all are living in fear of this deadly virus. They are all smart, creative, loving people who are faced with one terrible diagnosis after another.
Another story is about Fiona in 2015. Fiona had a brother who was one of Yale's close friends who died from AIDS. She's in Paris trying to find her missing daughter. The two stories somehow come together at the end to tell the complete version of what happened to all the characters.
Highly recommend this one.
