A 1960s London Family try to ensure that a teenager avoids tragedy simply because of sexual orientation. This story, full of both humour and sadness, records the courage of the family members who take the law into their own hands by ignoring the rules. This follows a tragic loss in the family and the rape by a gang of youths of one of the young members of the family. The book also has much of the 'coming of age' about it. The atmosphere is beautifully lifted from the 60s when, even then, there was an echo of the Second World War in many places, and scars both mental and physical carried by the bulk of the population. A must read.
