Description All the ingenuity of Ian Cross' original 1957 novel remains in this brilliant adaptation. His 13-year-old narrator/protagonist, Jimmy Sullivan, recalls the time when he was 11 and things happened - one thing in particular - to change his life forever. But this young adolescent perspective doesn't spoon-feed us with a comfortable interpretation, rationalisation and resolution.
