Rose Boys

3.7/5 ( ratings)

Alternate cover edition of ISBN 9781865086392

Rose Boys is the story of two brothers profoundly different, compellingly linked by blood ties, a famous sporting family and the terrible misfortune that befell one of them.

Robert Rose was an Australian Rules footballer and a cricketer who could have been one of the best of his generation. On St Valentine's Day 1974 all that changed when a terrible car accident left him a quadriplegic. Robert lived for another twenty-five years, totally dependent on others. His brother Peter followed a very different path, as a poet, a poet, publisher and leading Australian literary figure. This is Peter's tribute to his brother.

Rose Boys is the story of Robert's unaffected heroism, the limitless love of a mother and father, and the intimate world shared by two very different brothers. Above all, it is a family memoir of rare penetration and candour.
