Nature or nurture? The impact of traumatic childhood experience reverberates into the grown-up world of Frank, Alice and Henry – children from three families suffering the fall-out from their early life. Frank, a working-class boy abused by his step-father, Alice, physically handicapped and frustrated, Henry, the less clever son of wealthy ambitious parentsFrom a rundown estate in Eastleigh, a small town in Darlington and an affluent Cotswold home, each character grapples with the life fate has handed them. Until by chance they all come together in adulthood, the repercussions are explosive.
Sylvia Colley lives in Pinner, North London and spent many years as Head of English at the Purcell School. She has published a book of poetry, It’s Not What I Wanted Though and two novels, Lights on Dark Water and Ask Me to Dance.
