In this playful and poignant memoir, Thomas Keneally returns to his adolescence
in the suburbs of Sydney in 1952. At sixteen, the red-haired teenager idolized
the poetry of Gerard Manley Hopkins and had aspirations of becoming a star on
the track or rugby field. He also dreamed of wooing the beautiful and alluring
Bernadette Curran until the day she announces her desire to become a nun. For
the first time, Keneally started to consider priesthood himself.
An insightful portrait of the transition from childhood to adulthood, Homebush
Boy affectionately captures the awkwardness, grace, and all the contradictions
of being a teenager.
