There is so much aching love in this book, such pain and beauty. Behold, and rejoice' Tim Winton, author of CloudstreetAs a boy growing up on the south coast of England, Howard Cunnell's sense of self was dominated by his father's absence. He tells the story of the years of self-destruction that defined his young adulthood and the escape he found in reading and the natural world. Saved by love and responsibility, Cunnell charts his journey of compassion as he becomes a father and as his daughter Jay realizes he is a boy, and a son.This is a story about love - its necessity and fragility, and its unequalled capacity to enable us to be who we are. Deeply thoughtful and searingly honest, Fathers & Sons is an exploration of fatherhood, masculinity and family.'A memoir burnished with love and goodwill. It will leave you watching the world differently.' Naomi Wood, author of Mrs. Hemingway
