Prodigal: Shortlisted for the Polari Prize

SHORTLISTED FOR THE POLARI PRIZEHapless fifty-something Jeremy Eldritch is scraping together a living in Paris, writing soft-core pornography as 'Nathalie Cray'.When his all but estranged sister tells him that their father is dying, he reluctantly returns to his parental home in the English countryside. Confronted with a life he had always sought to escape, Jeremy begins an emotionally fraught journey into his family's chequered past - back to his mother's unexpected death in a Greek hospital years earlier, and even further back, to the moment at which the Eldritch family fell apart.A bold new take on the queer coming-of-age story, Prodigal deftly reconsiders the nature of trust, death, and the things we do to one another in the name of love.
