- Book Synopsis
- *Shortlisted for The TLS Ackerley Prize 2024* 'Wonderful ... For anyone who has ever dreamt of leaving a small-town childhood behind them, this is going to wring your heart. It certainly did mine'- Neil Bartlett, author of Address Book In 1950s suburban England, a friendship bloomed between Jeremy Seabrook and Michael O'Neill - two gay men coming of age at a time when homosexuality was still a crime. Their relationship was inflected by secrecy and fear; the shadows that had distorted their adolescent years were never wholly dispelled long into their adult life. Lyrical, candid and poignant, this is a tale of sexual identity, working-class history and family drama. A memoir of unparalleled authenticity, Private Worlds is an elegy for a doomed friendship.
