THE RETREAT

THE  RETREAT
Forrest Reid

A companion to Young Tom and Uncle Stephen, this is the central volume of Forrest Reid's acclaimed Tom Barber trilogy. Together the three novels depict a boy's growing awareness as he moves through the various stages of childhood, but each can be read and enjoyed quite independently from the others. In The Retreat we meet Tom at the age of 13, and through his dreams follow his first uncertain steps along the pathway to adolescence.
