![]() ![]() After all, who would find a cripple attractive? He flirts, she falls in love, something she never thought possible. Into her restricted, solitary life, appears a young man. ![]() This in itself might make us pity her, but when we witness her having breakfast at home with her two stuffy parents and discover that they are both doctors.suddenly we realise that she's an embarassment to them and that her disability is as crippling to them as to her. As the story unfolds we discover that her withered leg is due to having been ill as a child with polio and she now hates confined spaces because she spent so much time in an iron lung.

Well, he also wrote other, exceptionally good books. When people hear the name Winston Graham they immediately think Poldark. ![]()
