It's the kind of power that could implode a family, a friendship, a life. On a quiet summer night in Newcastle, 1972, a choice must be made: to act upon these desires, or suppress them? To live an openly queer life, or to try desperately not to?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOver the following three decades, two lives almost intersect in pivotal moments, the distance between them at times drawing so thin they nearly collide. Against the backdrop of an era including Australia's first Mardi Gras and the AIDS pandemic, we see these two lives ebb and flow, with joy and grief and loss and desire, until at last they come together in the most beautiful and surprising of ways.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Language of Limbs\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is about love and how it's policed, friendship and how it transcends, and hilarity in the face of heartbreak. An unashamed celebration of queer life in all its vibrancy and colour, this story finds the humanity in all of us, and demands we claim our futures for ourselves.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublished: 25 June \u003c\/span\u003e2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eISBN:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003e9781761269875\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eImprint:\u003c\/span\u003e Picador\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFormat:\u003c\/span\u003e Trade Paperback\u003cbr\u003ePages: 304\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Obsidian Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54416422928689,"sku":null,"price":34.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0965\/3557\/6881\/files\/limbs.jpg?v=1772682841","url":"https:\/\/obsidianbookshop.com\/products\/a-language-of-limbs-dylin-hardcastle-1","provider":"Obsidian Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
