Now settled into the long term relationship that began in such unorthodox fashion, for the first time in his life Robin Gibson can look forward to a future based on mutual interests and shared goals with his soul-mate. He couldn't imagine how complex and demanding that future was about to become. It is a time when perceptions of homosexuality are challenged by the advent of a little understood but devastating disease. Even on the fringe of his former existence, Robin's own experience reveals how ordinary lives can be far from immune to its effect, nor, indeed, is he free from reputational baggage and old prejudices. Additional characters and unexpected situations bring added dimension to Robin's unfolding world, through which Nigel Austin allows us further insight into his not infrequent emotional turmoil. Exploiting the wide-spectrum humour to which we've become accustomed, the author's observational wit is used both gently and mordantly in counterpoint to joy, disappointment, sorrow and tragedy.
