On the cusp of adulthood, Harvey has the cognitive ability of a 7-year-old, weighs 28 stone and is prone to outbursts of destructive violence, as shown by the cratered walls of Price’s house. “Even though it wasn’t my fault, and I couldn’t control it” she says, fighting tears, “I still felt such guilt that I couldn’t protect him.” In the rare moments of grace, as when Harvey chats with an old friend, or watches his beloved trains arrive and depart the station, you can see the relief blooming in Price’s face.
