The Patchworkers

The protagonist of this book, a sensitive youngster from a patchwork family seeks to make sense of the world around him and the complexities of adult relationships in the modern era. His family consists of divorced parents, his dad’s former wife and their children, his dad’s present pregnant wife, and his mother’s current life partners. With wonderful humour, the boy tells us about his world from the viewpoint of an adolescent, as well as that of a family tribal member with the power to vote, accept or reject.
There is time for bitter reflection, sincere laughter, and mixed emotions.
