The Guncle Abroad

Patrick O’Hara is back in this warm and witty sequel to The Guncle, returning five years after his first stint as “Guncle” (gay uncle). Now settled in New York and freshly single, Patrick embarks on a cross‑European journey with his niece and nephew, Maisie and Grant, as they struggle to accept their father’s upcoming remarriage. From London to Lake Como, he tries to teach them about love in its many forms—even as he grapples with his own grief, aging, and what real connection looks like. Equal parts hilarious, heartfelt, and chaotic, this novel is a celebration of found family in all its messy beauty.

~ Included for its joyous affirmation of queer chosen family, intergenerational love, and rediscovery later in life. A feel-good, emotionally rich gem where laughter and healing go hand in hand. ~
