First Love
Young Adult, Suspense and Coming of Age
Growing
up, Krister Foss had a hazy awareness of being gay. Now a conscript
in the same army garrison with Jens Petri, Krister has fallen head
over heels in love – the first true love for both he and
Petri. Having nowhere to express their feelings, they turn an old
abandoned smokehouse into their secret love-nest.
After Jens has an accident, Krister finagles a false day-pass to visit his lover in the hospital. He’s found out, though, and accused of insubordination. The lives of the two young soldiers develop rapidly in unexpected and dramatic ways. Bonded by life-changing events, friendship blossoms among a group of young people, one of them the King’s nephew.
