Holding the Man: Popular Penguins

Author(s): Timothy Conigrave

LGBTI

With honesty and insight Holding the Man explores the highs and lows of any partnership, and the strength of heart both men have to find when they test positive to HIV.

The mid-seventies - at an all-boys Catholic school in Melbourne, Timothy Conigrave falls wildly and sweetly in love with the captain of the football team. So begins a relationship that weathers disapproval, separation and, ultimately death.

This is a book as refreshing and uplifting as it is moving; a funny and sad and celebratory account of growing up gay.
