Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Paperback. Liam Parry has always been good at hiding. Growing up in a cramped Rochdale terrace in the 1980s, he learns early that survival means keeping your head down-at home, at school, and in a world that doesn't want boys like him to dream too big. When he escapes to Manchester University, the city offers a taste of freedom, but also new dangers: the risk of being found out, of wanting too much, of loving the wrong person.As Liam navigates Thatcher's Britain-family expectations, class divides, the shadow of the miners' strike, and the looming threat of AIDS-his greatest battle is with himself. Haunted by shame and longing, he must decide whether to keep living in the margins or risk everything for a life that's truly his. Every choice is a test: between safety and honesty, between the comfort of invisibility and the terrifying possibility of being seen.But Liam's journey is shaped as much by those around him as by his own fears. His relationships-with his fiercely loyal sister, with friends who challenge and support him, and with the men he dares to love-become both lifeline and crucible. First love brings both joy and heartbreak, and the bonds of family and friendship are tested as Liam learns that to be truly known is both the greatest risk and the greatest reward.TeaserHow do you learn to stop running from yourself? When a letter from the past threatens to unravel the fragile life Liam has built, he's forced to confront the secrets he's kept from his family, his friends, and most of all, from himself. In a world that demands he choose-between love and loyalty, between hiding and hope-Liam must find the cour-age to step out of the shadows and claim his own story.Lost in the '80s is a powerful, intimate coming-of-age novel about shame, resilience, and the quiet revolution of learning to live-and love-out loud. Through Liam's journey, it shines a light on the struggles faced by the LGBT community in the past and the hard-won lessons that still resonate today: the importance of visibility, the cost of silence, and the enduring need for acceptance, pride, and solidarity. In a world where many still face prejudice and fear, Liam's story reminds us that the fight to be seen and loved for who we are is as urgent now as ever. A moving gay coming-of-age novel about shame, resilience, and the fight to live, and love, out loud.Let Liam's story inspire you to stand up for authenticity and acceptance, and help build a world where no one has to hide.
