Desirelines: An Unusual Family Memoir

Second-Hand (Hardcover)

Excellent condition

This is the shared autobiography of Peter and Richard Wherrett

Each has taken years to come to terms with growing up with a father who was epileptic, an alcoholic and a cross-dresser. The brothers' story is set in the fiercely conservative 1950s West Ryde suburbia, where they lived on a main road above their father's pharmacy.

Richard was unaware of what was going on beneath his father's unpredictable mood changes and drunken violence, while Peter knew only too well.

They have different views of their childhood - resulting in them taking different paths and losing each other for many years.
