'Rose Boys is the wrenching, stunning account of a family living for about a quarter of a century in the sometimes tightening, sometimes loosening, but never absent, grip of a catastrophe.' -- Brian Matthews 'A book of immense emotional force that is a eulogy to his brother, a tribute to his parents and a powerful demonstration of the redemptive quality of suffering.' Meanjin ' A deeply felt, passionately uplifting story.' Weekend Australian ' A deep family story of suffering, love and passionate devotion, richly and freshly told.' -- Helen Garner 'Rose Boys is an intimate and moving-though never maudlin-story of familial love...often simple, sometimes rich and lyrical, and always cliche free.' Time 'A moving story expertly told.' -- Andrew Riemer Sydney Morning Herald 'I'm not sure when I last came across someone who has written so powerfully about death.' -- Martin Flanagan Age 'Rose's powerful book is about finding words to describe those events that leave us in silence.' -- David McCooey HEAT 'Rose Boys is a wonderful story about a relationship between men. It touches core issues of identity and loss but does so in a quietly undemonstrative manner.' -- Michael McGirr Eureka Street 'Eloquent, profoundly moving, deep-seeing into the mysteries of human suffering...a special book about a special man and the diminished life he managed so richly to share with others.'
