"Andrej Szymanowski, only child of an unstable mother and an embattled Polish father, finds release from the tensions of family life in an intense adolescent relationship with Imogen, daughter of his father's employer.  this relationship quickly becomes the only stable reality Andrej knows.  When it is cruelly severed by Imogen's mother, acting on the promptings of rumour and gossip, the boy is all but destroyed."
