I get the illusion on this train that it's going on for ever. That time stands still. That we'll never get to Wisbech or anywhere...' said Brian. Philippa laughed. 'Isn't that the charm of it?' 'Not really. I want to get somewhere. I've lived more than a quarter of my life, and I haven't done anything yet but pass exams. I mean, exams aren't real, are they?' When Brian meets Philippa he cannot guess how dramatically she represents the real world. For her it is a world of terror that she has to come to Norfolk to forget. Once Brian has met all his fellow-students at the fruit picking, there is no reason for him to befriend Philippa. But Brian, in his typically generous way, offers her a lift to the sea on his bike when she has been left on her own... HARVEST is a passionate story of a young man who is swept into a drama not of his making. Brian follows his instincts. He believes he is doing the right thing. It is also a moving story of healing and reconciliation.
