Glove Puppet

I have been an avid reader since my school days, and no book has ever captivated me like a book written by Neal Drinnan called Glove Puppet.

It's starts of with a boy called Vaslav, who has a bit of a sordid past and a tenous future. He was found on a train station by a stranger whilst his mother, a prostitute, died of a drug overdose on the station just minutes before.

The strange man took him to Australia and he passed him of as his own, recently deceased son. Vaslav lived a life of privilege in Australia, as the son of a gay man.

As the boy grew older, he realized that there is still a lot of his previous life lurking in the shadows of his existence. He subsequently initiates a dangerous love affair, one that threatens to destroy him, and all his loved ones.

Glove Puppet is a brilliant novel where love and transgressions, sex and manipulation, collapse upon each other, and where the best intentions yield the worst results.
