Their lives suddenly change with the arrival at their doorstep of a hulking, affable Canadian named Mike Flanagan, who declares himself the widower of Yaichi's estranged gay twin, Ryoji. Mike is on a quest to explore Ryoji's past, and the family reluctantly but dutifully takes him in. What follows is an unprecedented and heartbreaking look at the state of a largely still-closeted Japanese gay culture: how it's been affected by the West, and how the next generation can change the preconceptions about it and prejudices against it.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46491609464990,"sku":"ADS-9780349134574","price":49.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780349134574.jpg?v=1770594981","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780349134574","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
