A decent harried young banker, already on the verge of distraction, hurries north to Scotland and his mysteriously troubled sister...A foreign mother struggles to make a home for her family in a society she only vaguely comprehends...A baby is abandoned in a bus-station rest room...And thus five lives and more are caught up in a binding net of affection and responsiblity, of sibling loyalty, romantic longing and maternal love.

A great book on how any common citizen unwittingly can become a criminal!!!!
