One of my all time favourite books. Not the best time to read it again right now, though.
I’ve read it three times and always end up a mess. Such a beautiful and powerfully moving love story.

I saw the film #HoldingTheMan based on Timothy Conigrave's book years ago, and I didn't fully appreciate it then.
The book, while able to be categorised as a "horny tragedy", is an emotional read, and something which hits you hard.
I strongly recommend it.

I'm not good at challenges.
However I have one book that always pops up first in my head with these challenges: Holding the man.
Thank you Timothy for writing this book in your precious time.
