Mates

Cyril and Len meet up doing National Service in the 1950s. So begins their life together, reflecting the ups-and-downs, changes and continuities in the position of gay men over a quarter of a century. Comic and sad, tender and fierce by turns, MATES affirms just how extraordinary the lives of ordinary gays can be. A story of survival, sensitively told by a novelist with a well established reputation.
