An unforgettable memoir about gender journeys and enduring friendship
For years Richard Beard would take spontaneous holidays with his motor-cycling friend Drew. They would spend a few days walking camping cycling canoeing - outdoor manly fun - before returning to everyday life: wives children jobs. Richard was writing novels. Drew was working in the engine-room of cross-channel passenger ferries. Then one year Drew phoned to announce a complication: he was planning to transition and begin living as a woman.
This is the story of how Drew became Dru of what happened to their friendship and their adventures in wildest Wales the first time they went camping as man and woman. It is warm sad funny; an intimate tale of shared humanity.
