Summary:

In 1929, the novel begins. Arthur, a boy of seven, has cerebral palsy. He is confined to his room in the care of an ancient nurse. He yearns to escape--as does his sister Phyllis--from his overly protective mother's "iron pouch." With the help of Phyllis, Arthur struggles, as he matures, to realize his romantic urges and to escape from his room to claim "the only life I have."
