by Steven Rowley picks up five years after the original novel, The Guncle, which introduced Gay Uncle Patrick and his growing relationship with his niece and nephew, Maisie and Grant, after their mother’s death. Now, he’s here to help them with a new challenge: their dad’s destination wedding to a titled Italian woman. Patrick relishes the chance to introduce his charges to Europe, all while dealing with the emotional fallout of breaking up with his younger partner, Emory, and the prospect of turning 50. Fans of Rowley’s lovable characters will enjoy spending more time in their company.
