Two Americans in Florence

This is an interesting story that begins with the meeting of two young Americans at a pensione in Florence. Chase, handsome and stylish and happy with his sexuality, and Peter (the narrator) who is just coming to terms with his, set out on clandestine late night meetings, and from there the tale develops imaginatively to the present day and a private cruise on a luxury yacht. The story is very well told, although I found the diversions into the history of Central Park, while relevant to the plot, somewhat overlong and distracting.
