Fathers and fugitives

Naudé, S. J., 1970-2024
Books
Daniel is a queer journalist living in London. His relationships appear to be sexually fulfilling but sentimentally meagre. He has no relationships outside of sexual ones, and can seem at once callow and cold to the point of cruel with his lovers. Emotionally distant from his father, Daniel returns to South Africa to care for him during his final months. Following his father's death, Daniel learns of a clause in the old man's will: he will only inherit his half of his father's estate once he has spent time with Theon, a cousin he hasn't seen since they were boys, who lives on the old family farm in the Free State. Once there, Daniel discovers that the young son of the woman Theon lives with is seriously ill. With the conditions bearing on Daniel's inheritance shifting in real time, Theon and Daniel travel to Japan for an experimental cure and a voyage that will change their lives forever.
