Description - April Fool's Day by Bryce Courtenay

April Fools Day was first published in 1993. This commemorative edition celebrates one of Bryce Courtenay's most loved, enduring and life-affirming books.
Damon Courtenay died on the morning of April Fool's Day. In this tribute to his son, Bryce Courtenay lays bare the suffering behind this young man's life. Damon's story is one of lifelong struggle, his love for Celeste, the compassion of family, and a fight to the end for integrity.
A testimony to the power of love,April Fool's Dayis also about understanding- how when we confront our worst, we can become our best.
'April Fool's Day is one of those rare, wholly beautiful books that lets life speak for itself without any attempt at artifice . . . yet stands as a powerful work of literature . . . Damon certainly lives in the pages of this vital book.' Weekend Australian
'Some books have such a powerful story to tell . . . April Fool's Day is written with sustained rage, grief, raw love, and thank god, some dark humour . . . I cannot remember when a book has moved me so deeply.' Weekend Telegraph
