'There is so much aching love in this book, such pain and beauty.
Behold, and rejoice.' - Tim Winton, author of Cloudstreet Was he
thinking, do I have to be this kind of boy to survive? Is this what
being a boy is? As a boy growing up on the south coast of England,
Howard Cunnell's sense of self was dominated by his father's
absence. Now, years later, he is a father, and his daughter is
becoming his son. Starting with his own childhood in the Sussex
beachlands, Howard 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. Still he felt compelled to destroy the
relationships that mattered to him. Saved by love and
responsibility, Cunnell charts his journey from anger to
compassion, as his daughter Jay realizes he is a boy, and a son.
Most of all, this is a story about love - its necessity and
fragility, and its unequalled capacity to enable us to be who we
are. Deeply thoughtful, searingly honest and exquisitely lyrical,
Fathers and Sons is an exploration of fatherhood, masculinity,
authenticity and family.
