Books Descriptions
In the mid-seventies at an all-boys Catholic school in Melbourne, Timothy
Conigrave fell wildly and sweetly in love with the captain of the football
team. So began a relationship that was to last for fifteen years, a love
affair that weathered disapproval, separation and, ultimately, death.With
honesty and insight, Conigrave's bestselling memoir explores the highs and
lows of any partnership: the intimacy, constraints and temptations. And
the strength of heart both men had to find when they tested positive to
HIV.As uplifting as it is moving, Holding the Man is a funny, sad and
celebratory account of growing up gay, and a powerful love story.
