Mother's Boy - Signed Copy

Mother's Boy a novel by Patrick Gale 

Gale joined us on stage for our inaugural Heligan Homecoming Festival; a celebration of music, literature, art, culture and food set in the enchanting Lost Gardens of Heligan. This signed copy is exclusively online.

Young Charles Causley is the son of a laundress, Laura, a doting mother left a widow after the First World War. As a new year looms, he signs up for the navy as a coder. His escape from the tight, gossipy confines of Launceston to a more colourful life in action sees him blossom, as he experiences the possibility of death, and the excitement - even terror- of a love that is as clandestine as his work.
