Parable of the Two Sons is the second novel of Christopher Bevan. It is a story about grief for the loss of a mother taken in her prime and the struggle of a father to raise their two young sons alone. It is a struggle endured during a mid-life crisis about his own sexuality as he faces a future without his only lover and the primary caregiver of his sons. It is a hard struggle, the limits of which are tested by the fracturing of the relationship between his sons due to the loss of their mother and its exacerbation by the eventual divergence in their sexuality. The story culminates in the belated redefinition of the relationship between the sons and their father in the immediate aftermath of his death 25 years later.
