The Guncle Abroad written by Steven Rowley is a great sequel to The Guncle. This entertaining romp through France, Italy and Austria is filled with stupendous humor and heart. Yes, you might share some tears at the end. This can be a stand alone novel too with.The protagonist of both novels is Patrick-a 50 year old actor who co-parents his niece and nephew. Patrick’s brother married the mother and she died, leaving her children motherless-that’s where gay uncle Patrick comes in–thus the new term Guncle.
