**A prize-winning memoir, a tender evocation of a world, a place and a time.**Born in 1950 to sporting parents and sharing his brother's homosexuality, Peter Wells decided at the age of eleven that his family could not 'afford' two homosexual sons. The problems this led to complicated his youth but possibly gave him the creative fuel that would go on to illuminate his books and films. Through the difficulties and strains explored in this 'mosaic of a memoir' come many other voices and a transcendence over the 'inadequate ideas' of time and place. Winner of the Montana New Zealand Book Awards for biography.'I am lifted by his verbal sorcery into a world I had almost forgotten . . . he writes with such piercing candour and self-awareness that we cannot resist identifying with him . . . it is a pivotal work.' - Robert Dessaix, Landfall
