Twelve-year-old David is our protagonist, and the story opens during the last few weeks of his mother’s life. It is London on the brink of World War II. David’s mother has cancer and is fading away. David finds solace in his books, the ones that his mother read to him when he was little, and that he now reads to her while she is quietly dying.
David loves his mother, and throughout the story we are given a picture of a woman who is a perfect mother, the kind of woman who instinctively understands her child and his needs. When David’s mother dies, David is devastated. Things only get worse when, a less than six months later, David’s father introduces Rose, who becomes David’s stepmother. David has already been struggling with grief and adjustments
