The mid-seventies: at an all-boys Catholic school in Melbourne, Timothy Conigrave falls wildly and sweetly in love with the captain of the football team. So begins a relationship that weathers disapproval, separation and, ultimately, death. With honesty and insight, Holding the Man explores the highs and lows of any partnership, and the strength of heart both men have to find when they test 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.

Thought provoking
An excellent book about love and its consequences with insights into family dilemmas. Both happy and sad but portrays very much the problems gay men faced back then. It does illustrate the nature of friendship in all its forms. If only life could go smoothly according to our dreams. I was deeply touched by the book,; I won't watch the film lest it not be true to the original It did prompt me to reevaluate friends long forgotten....made no difference but I felt better. I do recommend it to all
