A MODERN TRAGEDY
In April Fool's Day Bryce Courtenay, author of international bestsellers The Power of One an Tandia, celebrates the life of his son Damon an describes the difficulties of coming to terms wi his tragic death from AIDS.
Damon was a haemophiliac, and his father's bo gives an extraordinary insight into the life of a Family coping first with haemophilia and then AIDS. It is also a damning indictment of an ofte heartless medical establishment's approach to haemophilia, as well as being a timely reminder the carelessness with which the HIV virus was originally treated.
April Fool's Day is controversial, painful and heartbreaking. It is also life-affirmingly funny. Above all, it is testimony to the incredible regenerative strength of love-how when we confront our worst, we can become our best.
