Set first in South Africa then in London, A Leap of Faith painted quite a vivid picture of both locations. The author gave importance to people, surroundings and even political contexts, which I really appreciated. It gave me an all encompassing perspective on Daniel's and Eddy's lives, their experiences and choices.

There were a series of important subjects treated in the story, like apartheid, shell shock and the war, racism and homophobia. It was a bit angsty and parts brought tears to my eyes, but so many wonderful things shone through the pages. Daniel and Teddy's romance was touching and uplifting, like a soothing balm amidst the fear and the uncertainty.

I was so absorbed by this story I didn't notice time fly. Daniel and Teddy were wonderful men and I wanted beautiful things for them. I didn't expect it honestly, considering the times, but the author gave them... and me... the happiest ending. Thank you!
