Samenvatting

A memoir about a man whose daughter transitions, a memoir about what it means to both of them to be a man.

`There is so much aching love in this book, such pain and beauty. Behold, and rejoice’ Tim Winton, author of Cloudstreet As 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

‘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.

Hoe controleren en plaatsen wij reviews? Hoe controleren en plaatsen wij reviews?

Negatief, positief, neutraal: we zetten een review altijd online. We controleren wel eerst of ’ie voldoet aan onze reviewvoorwaarden en niet nep is. We controleren ook of ’ie is geschreven door iemand die het artikel heeft gekocht via bol.com en zetten dit er dan bij. De controles gebeuren automatisch, al kijken er soms mensen mee. Bol.com betaalt niet voor reviews. Als een reviewer door een andere partij is vergoed, staat dit in de review zelf.
