'The day after I tried to kill my Mother....'

Happy reading.

Caught today at Riddik Cafe. The lovely floral cover attracted my attention.

A marvelous read from Aussie Nigel Featherstone in which he charts gay history in Australia over several decades. It delves into weighty themes of family relationships, self acceptance, discovery and desire with uncompromising zeal. Well written and refreshingly forthright. Definitely worth reading.
I am planning to release this at the next Templestowe meetup.

Patrick has always considered himself a good son. Willing to live his life to please his parents, his sense of duty paramount to his own desires and dreams. But as his mother's health continues to deteriorate and his siblings remain absent, he finds the ties that bind him to his mother begin to chafe. After an argument leads to a violent act he travels to a familiar country retreat to reflect on what his life could be, and through a chance encounter with a rare animal and an intriguing stranger starts to wonder if perhaps it is not too late to let his heart run wild.
