Tom Seymour is a child psychologist who has worked in the north of England for many years.One day,while walking by a river near his home,he rescues a young man from drowning,and realizes that it's Danny Miller,a child murderer at whose trial he once gave evidence.
Evidence he has since come to regard as flawed.
Danny has served his sentence and is out of prison.Now he's asking for Tom's help.But as Tom is drawn back,reluctantly,into Danny's troubled world,he begins to question Danny's motives - and his own.
In 'Border Crossing',her most gripping novel to date (then 2001),Pat Barker brilliantly grapples with huge moral issues: childhood and innocence,environment and heredity,the narrow border between good and evil.This is Pat Barker writing at her sinewy,confident best.
Since April 2013,again in March 2015,and in this year too,the UK Post Office has altered it's Pricing in Proportion template,altering its prices, weight allowances,dimensions and lowered its compensation rates too!
So,please contact rpaxtonden@blueyonder.co.uk ,because of the lighter weight and the value of this item,for correct,insured shipping/P+p quotes - particularly ALL overseas buyers - BEFORE ordering through the order page!
