Synopsis

Set in Norfolk in 1980 but with flashbacks to South Africa and Bechuanaland of the 1960s. Ralph and Anna are "do-gooders". They run a trust for young people and take offenders into their home. But they harbour a secret: in Africa, years before, their son had been abducted, his body never found.

Review:

'Sandra Duncan's beautifully judged narration adds a further dimension' --The Oldie

'The best book she's written... She writes about punishing subjects so freshly it is as if they had never been written about before.' --The Observer

Hilary Mantel has created that rare thing, a page-turner with a profound moral dimension. --The Daily Telegraph
