Wanted:Home for baby boy, aged 1 month, complete surrender. In late
1942, that advert was placed in the Reading Mercury. Two weeks
later, on the deserted platform of Reading railway station, a young
couple who had read the advert were to fleetingly meet the mother
of this baby boy as she passed the child over to them. The reasons
for the surrender of her child were never explained. The boy, Dave
Sharp, grew up happily, never knowing the full story of his
parentage. But a chance discovery some sixty years later was to set
him on a quest to uncover the truth behind his mysterious
abandonment. This search would lead to shocking and uncomfortable
revelations, both for Dave and for the family that he discovered.
Not only was Dave, a bricklayer by trade, to be united with the
brother he never knew he had, world-famous novelist Ian McEwan, but
the two men were to discover a shared history and a relationship
closer than they could ever have imagined.
