Pre-Owned On Loving Josiah 9781906413798 Used

Josiah Horatio Nelson is born to unusual parents who met in a psychiatric hospital. Josiah sleeps on the compost heap, learns Latin from his mother and plant lore from his father, and doesn't attend school. The family's background and odd behaviour provoke the continued attention of the social services and Josiah is sent to a series of foster families before eventually being classified as an emergency and sent to a home. Josiah is saved from despair by meeting Latin tutor Thomas Marius who forms an intense relationship with the boy. Marius takes him to Italy on an educational visit but returns to find he is suspected of child abuse by the children's services. Josiah looks as if he may lose the only person he feels now really loves him. CONDITION – USED: Books sold are in GOOD or better condition.
