Jethro Tull did battle with glam-rock for the airwaves. At an all-boys Catholic school in Melbourne, Timothy Conigrave fell wildly and sweetly in love with the captain of the football team. So began a relationship that was to last for 15 years, a love affair that weathered disapproval, separation and, ultimately death. Holding the Man recreates that relationship. With honesty and insight it explores the highs and lows of any partnership: the intimacy, constraints, temptations. And the strength of heart both men had to find when they tested positive to HIV. This is a book as refreshing and uplifting as it is moving; a funny and sad and celebratory account of growing up gay.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Book Express","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43633230970954,"sku":"6705ai","price":8.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/9101\/8826\/files\/6705ai.jpg?v=1779763637","url":"https:\/\/www.bookexpress.nz\/products\/holding-the-man-by-timothy-conigrave","provider":"Book Express","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
