Robbie has had a terrible summer after breaking his arm, but that kind of terrible is nothing compared to when his mother goes into hospital for tests and never returns. Robbie and his father have not had a close relationship and now have to form a close working relationship. Robbie's grief is realistically drawn, as is his father's, as they move into protective shells. Robbie begins to establish a relationship when he realises that his father has had 20 years of memories to grieve for, and a marital relationship he has lost.
