| Sommario/riassunto: | Able Seaman, Chindit Officer, Hindu monk, businessman, journalist, writer, film extra, prisoner, long-distance cyclist - there were many sides to Frank Baines. Indeed, perhaps Frank himself never quite knew who he was, nor where he belonged. He only discovered his real name when he was a teenager. He was gay at a time when homosexuality was still against the law. This engrossing biography tells the full story of a life lived outside convention. |
