The Fallen Tree

A senior diplomat traumatised by the violent death of his wife moves back to UK with his now fifteen-year-old, greatly distressed daughter to become Professor of International Relations at a new university. A high school teacher in a neighbouring town befriends the girl and remonstrates with her father at his overly protective care of her.

Un diplomat de rang inalt, traumatizat de moartea violenta a sotiei sale, se muta inapoi in Marea Britanie cu fiica sa, acum in varsta de cincisprezece ani, aflata in suferinta, pentru a deveni profesoara de Relatii Internationale la o noua universitate. Un profesor de liceu dintr-un oras vecin se imprieteneste cu fata si se plange tatalui ei de grija excesiv de protectoare pe care o are fata de ea.
