The Fleetwood Half-Orphan Asylum tells the story of two brothers left in an orphanage in 1927. One runs away. When they next meet, 30-odd years later at their father\u2019s deathbed, they fight. Another 30-odd years on, the son of one brother receives a parcel and a promise of family secrets. It\u2019s a story of brotherhood, what caring means, of love and the absence thereof.<\/p>\n
