By Sophie Radice, Adapted for radio by Charlotte Jones.
A mother fears that a child parenting expert is endangering his own seven-year-old son, Henry, by testing out his theories of early independence on him.
When Anna finds a boy alone and barefoot on Hampstead Heath, she accompanies him home for his own safety. But she is horrified to discover that he was left there on purpose to develop his independence, by his father, the famous parenting expert Professor Horace Henderson.
This thriller asks whether our society bubble-wraps children, whether we have the right to interfere in other people’s children’s lives and how we become parents with the spectres of our own childhoods still looming over our shoulders.
