Nights in the Gardens of Spain
Nights in the Gardens of Spain

Dual life crisis amidst societal expectations.

If the intertwining of personal struggle with cultural identity strikes a chord with you, "Nights in the Gardens of Spain" may pique your interest. It offers a narrative that’s both deeply personal and universally resonant, juggling the complexities of sexuality against the backdrop of societal norms. Witi Ihimaera's candid exploration of a life led in secret speaks volumes about the human capacity for love and the pain of inauthenticity. His storytelling will likely have you reflecting long after you turn the final page.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

David Munro has everything a man could wish for - a beautiful wife, two adoring daughters, a top academic position, and a circle of devoted friends. But he also has another life - lived mainly at night and frequently in what he comes to know as 'The Gardens of Spain', the places where gay and bisexual men meet. Now he must choose which of his two lives to follow... This landmark book from one of New Zealand's most highly regarded authors explores the precarious divide between sexuality and social mores. It examines the dilemmas of contemporary gay culture with anger, laughter, sensitivity, and honesty.
