Lonely orphan boy escapes from institution
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
Paul is a boy on the edge of adolescence, troubled that he's an orphan living in an uncaring institution for boys. He's not loved, not wanted, and not cared for. His only escape is in solitary sex, a few minutes respite from a bleak and desperate existence. The other boys engage in brutal relationships, for which Paul has no taste.Symbolic of the early 1970's, when institutionalization was the norm, the novel reflects the worst of institutionalized child care.Paul escapes, for a twisted life of freedom yet one just as hard as the one he left. He's searching for freedom, as well as to belong to someone, to love and be loved. This is a hard tale of growing up. A book for all those who would love a boy, and hate their brutal treatment.
