Review A tender, evocative retelling of the life of the poet Charles Causley . . . Patrick Gales descriptions of the power of ordinary things in two very different lives make Mothers Boy a moving biographical tribute Times Literary SupplementThe complex, near-incestuous bond between mother and son is drawn with sharp-eyed affection, as is the small-town Cornish setting. It stands with the best queer literary fiction of a historical bent, illuminated as it is by Gales devilish wit and talent for both social observation and intricacies of character Sydney Morning HeraldA gorgeous coming-of-age story - this tender novel will touch hearts Good HousekeepingGentle . . . evocative Daily MailA touching, utterly convincing portrait of the nascent artist Mail on SundayThe magic happens though when Gale takes his inspiration from lines of poetry or fragments of Charles diary and gives him, and Laura, a rich and poignant life. A nicely woven, gentle tale of an ordinary life in extraordinary times, a tale of a boy born into hardship with no sense of self-pity, raised by his mother to be who he shall be. Its quite lovely New Zealand HeraldI loved it. Its an incredibly evocative, enjoyable read...I didnt want it to stop. I wanted to stay in the world and carry on. Cathy RentzenbrinkMothers Boy is further proof that Patrick Gale is that rare kind of storyteller - utterly engaging, compelling and unputdownable Sarah WinmanA lovely, generous, absorbing novel. Charles is made both of and belonging to his place and world, while also not fitting into it. The war sections are so very good, so terrible and ugly and gritty. I absolutely believed all of it Tessa HadleyYou know sometimes, from the very first page of a book, you feel so at home and so involved with the story, its as if youve walked alongside the characters all your life? Mothers Boy is one of those books. A sign of an incredible storyteller Joanna CannonMothers Boybeautifully celebrates the underdog. It is a celebration of love in hidden places, and love in ordinary places, and the courage required to be true to the person you are, when there is no road map to guide you. A sublime piece of storytelling Rachel JoyceA wonderfully tender account of a poets coming of age against the brutal backdrop of World War 11. Scene after scene is delivered with filmic intensity. Patrick Gale is a master of atmosphere, detail and the deep currents of latent passion Philip MarsdenPatrick Gale always writes so well of his men and of the women near them. In Mothers Boy his women shine as brightly as the men, his characters age and grow by themselves, alive in their actions, hopes and losses. Stella DuffyPatrick Gales writing has an unmatched ability to take you by the hand and just casually, quietly, lead you in, and in, and in. It all seems so simple, and then youre in tears Louisa YoungPatrick Gales Mothers Boy is a tour-de-force; the book is really a love-letter, to motherhood, and to the landscapes and townscapes of Gales adopted home county of Cornwall. Most of all, it is a heartfelt tribute from one fine writer to another; a patient and subtle reflection on the tricky art of noticing - and enduring - what really matters in life Neil BartlettGale has a rare talent for evoking human relationships. Here he exploits his skill fully, richly examining the dynamics between mother and son, and between men and men allowed in extraordinary times to explore what they really mean to one and other Petroc TrelawnyI think Charles Causley would be incredibly happy - and stunned - if he were able to read your book. What youve done is extraordinary; youve somehow created a world that only Causley could have been born into and grown up in. His poetry calls up emotion; theres always much more than at first appears - and your story suggests, in the most sensitive and subtle way Vivian FrenchStorytelling like this, from structure to sentence to imagery to sheer rolling belief in the wor
