Sam is about the loneliness of a small boy evacuated to Yorkshire during the Blitz, missing his mother. It is about post-war London, where his mum lets him ride the tube and buy tickets to dreamland at the local cinema; and then the solitude of boarding school and the despair which pulls him back to his mother's side. It is the moving chronicle of a child's desire and the strategies he develops to deal with the absence, and the complicated presence, of the people he loves.
