Product Description
Gerard and George were lovers for 42 years. Now he spends the winter in north Thailand with Na, 38, his "second innings" for the last 15 years.
He was London music critic of "The Irish Times" for 15 years, and had the honour of meeting Sibelius privately.
In 1964 they left London where George, a service engineer, was born, and came back to Ireland to restore Thornfields, the family mansion which Gerard's ancestor Sir Richard Bourke, the 8th Governor of Australia (1831-37) bought in 1810.
These memoirs were written at the desk (Limerick 1845) at which Sir Richard edited the correspondence of their kinsman, the statesman Edmund Burke in 1845, just before the Irish famine.
