Description

Rose Boys by Peter Rose tells the poignant story of Robert Rose, a promising cricketer and footballer, following in the footsteps of his father, Bob, who was celebrated as Collingwood's greatest player. In stark contrast, Robert's brother Peter was embarking on a career in literature, ultimately becoming a poet and publisher.

On St Valentine's Day in 1974, the Roses’ lives took a tragic turn when a devastating car accident left Robert as a quadriplegic. Over the subsequent quarter of a century, the family faced challenges that tested their love, courage, and endurance.

Peter Rose crafts a vivid and enduring portrait of his brother Robert, capturing the essence of a life profoundly altered, yet still marked by remarkable resilience and spirit.
