How to Grow Feelings like Flowers

Antoni has lost his feelings along the way somewhere on a side curb. Happens.

Now he struts through life as a queer escort in London's 1980s with ease, cheer, wit, and no delusions whatsoever. No, no, you will not find an unreliable narrator here. He was made to please others. The people he encounters are eccentric and colourful, but Antoni adapts to them and their needs like the professional he is, becoming a new person every night.

All goes well until Antoni meets Lev, his strange neighbour who seems to be but a blank canvas. Or rather, an obsidian mirror. And for the first time since running away from home five years ago, Antoni has to reflect on who he has become, who he really is. Who he will be if his heart starts beating again.
