Produktbeschreibung

'Iain's love for his son shines through every sentence of this affecting account...wonderfully entertaining and moving' Daily Mail 'wonderful, moving, humorous' Charlie Mortimer, author of Dear Lupin 'Raising the issue of men's mental health is important and Dear Michael, Love Dad is to be praised for that' Express When Iain Maitland's son left home for university he wrote regularly to him; funny, bad tempered letters chronicling their family life and giving Michael hopeless advice on everything from DIY to women. He never expected a reply - they were simply his way of continuing their relationship. What Iain didn't realise was that his beloved boy was battling with depression and anorexia. Only later did it become clear to Iain and his wife just how blind they had been, and for how very long. This is a touchingly written account of how we may unwittingly fail our loved ones, but most of all expresses the unbreakable bond between a father and son.
