Crossing the Lines
Melvyn Bragg
The last of a trilogy of autobiographical novels. The first two
were wonderful. This is disappointing mainly because it
concentrates so much on the boy, Joe. One of the great strengths
of the other books was the even handed treatment of Mum Dad and
son. Teenage boys can be rather tiresome for the middle aged
reader.
