Lover Boy - Paperback

About this item

by Jocelyn Harewood (Author)

This stunning novel explores the conflicting worlds of an adolescent boy discovering the full force of his sexuality and a mature woman caught in a terrifying triangle of love, hate and rage. Michael's school mates hang on every detail of his affair with Sally. Sally has no idea Michael is telling his mates about her. It's enough that he brings some joy to her boring life in a bleak industrial suburb of Melbourne, but when her de-facto finds out, violence overtakes their lives. Passion turns to rage and obsession with awful consequences.

Based on the Australian film Lover Boy by Geoffrey Wright.
