Sucking Sherbet Lemons - Softcover
SUCKING SHERBET LEMONS recounts the coming out experience of a gay man at a time when homosexual acts were illegal. The times have changed, with legalisation, and now even Civil Partnerships in Britain - but the difficulties, silence, bewilderment and embarrassment of 'coming out' have not. SUCKING SHERBET LEMONS is a coming out novel for the ages. We are proud to re-release this Gay Classic to aid, entertain - and console - a new generation, gay, straight, and all points in-between.

Review:
'Irresistible' The Guardian. 'Makes you want to cheer' The New Yorker. 'A Gay Adrian Mole...the funniest novel I've read all year' Simon Callow. 'This book will always be a reminder to me of the courage of purpose, the futility of the oppressor, and, above all, the power of laughter' Michael Cashman, MEP. 'One of the freshest voices on the current scene.' The Literary Review. --The New Yorker
