Set in Britain during the 1950s, this moving and evocative novel
follows the intertwined fates of people crossing boundaries in
their lives. As a teenager in the small northern town of Wigton,
Joe Richardson falls in love with Rachel, just when her life is
about to be uprooted. While his parents, Sam and Ellen, face the
frontiers of middle age, Joe finds himself drawn by the
intoxicating world outside home, and swept into situations that
seem beyond his control. Vividly conveying the spirit of the
mid-century and the profound social changes taking place at the
time, this is a masterly successor to the award-winning THE
SOLDIER'S RETURN and A SON OF WAR.
