MOTHERS BOY - PATRICK GALE TASCHENBUCH

'A celebration of love in hidden places  and love in ordinary places  and the courage required
to be true to the person you are  when there is no road map to guide you. Sublime' Rachel Joyce
Laura is a young laundress  struggling to bring up her adored son  Charles  in a country still
shadowed by war. Fiercely independent and recently widowed  she vows to do everything for her
child  but gradually becomes aware that he is too gifted to ever be happy. As a young adult 
Charles briefly escapes the gossipy confines of his town and signs up to be a coder in the
Navy. There  amid the violence of a new war  he relishes friendships - and love - of a kind he
could never have found at home. Yet even as he tastes delicious liberty  he senses it will be
lost with the return of peace. MOTHER'S BOY is the tender  illuminating story of a well-loved
poet  and a beautifully drawn evocation of the relationship between a mother and her son. 'A
wonderfully tender account of a poet's coming of age. Patrick Gale is a master of atmosphere 
detail and the deep currents of latent passion' Philip Marsden'His women shine as brightly as
the men  his characters age and grow by themselves  alive in their actions  hopes and losses'
Stella Duffy
