It was written when she was over 50 and had moved to S Africa where she could live more freely with her lifelong female partner. It was pretty shocking to many in the UK at the time, being an exploration of what it is like to discover and then explore your homosexuality in an environment where it is outlawed. It contrasts deeply loving and caring relationships with the flamboyant and promiscuous lifestyle of 'the gay scene', and the many different ways people coped with finding that what they were was illegal and despised. It is all about men - lesbianism isn't mentioned. It explores the difference between primarily thinking of yourself as a homosexual and living in that labelled box, or primarily as a human being with a capacity for love who is attracted mainly to your own sex. I read it in the 50's when it helped me understand some of the men I worked with. Reading it again i find that much is still relevant. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Such love *by L***M on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 December 2018* Coming to this book from her Alexander trilogies and The Mask of Apollo I can hear Mary Renault's rich voice in her sensitive and compassionate telling of love that is of itself fraught by the culture of the 2nd world war era. A few months ago I read James Lord's autobiography, My Queer War, Renault's novel of one injured soldier's search for love amongst the men he love in war time Briton resonated with Lord's book. This is a book as much about dignity and integrity as it is about love that deserves to insist on saying it's name out loud. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Magnificent version *by A***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 August 2018* I've always loved this book. However, this audio version is simply brilliant and the narrator is better than I've experienced before and you can get carried away thinking it was almost a full cast.I shall look out for this narrator again. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Charioteer - The Last of the Wine - The Persian Boy --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/59510799-the-charioteer-vintage-paperback-11-oct-2003](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/59510799-the-charioteer-vintage-paperback-11-oct-2003) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-14*
