Edward was just four when he and his mother were shut away behind boarded-up windows by her violent, hard-drinking partner, Harris. It took three long years before an elderly neighbour glimpsed his face at a gap in the boards and raised the alarm.
Rescued at last, Edward finds kindness with a foster family and is later adopted, yet the past refuses to let him go, and as a teenager he still seems somehow apart from everyone around him. Then a photograph reveals a startling likeness between Edward and Harris, and every step forward he has made begins to unravel. Is Harris his father, and does that darkness run in his blood too?
A powerful, unflinching novel from Anne Fine about nature versus nurture, guilt, anger and the hope of redemption. Recommended for readers aged 12 and up.
