My Funny Brother

In a setting of modern South Africa, meet Donovan (or Donnie or Donna when he feels that way) who is gay. The other members of his family have to come to terms with this. They do so, most sensibly, because his parents are ready to understand, accept and above all love their children. From a home in which they turn the TV off at supper time and actually talk to each other, to school not ready yet for gay students, to the outside world which becomes violent – an absorbing story, full of tension and interest.
