Have you read Barbara Kingsolver's Bean Tree. That is about a girl who
acquires a child and decides to keep it. In fact, she goes to a great deal
of trouble to do so. Yes, it is rather improbable but it makes a good story.

What is The Son about Ian?
I am reading Norwegian by Night by Derek B. Miller, which is one of David's
scans. It is very good. This is the third book that I've read recently
where someone finds a child in danger and doesn't hand them over to the
authorities, but keeps them and tries to protect them. I think this one is
more plausible though as the old man who has the child has more reason to do
what he's doing, where as I don't believe that most people would do such a
thing.

Instead I've started The Son by Philip Meyer which looks much more
promising. Meanwhile via the Kindle app I'm reading Empires of the Sea by
Roger Crowley which is a non-fiction account of the Muslim/Christian sea
battles in the Mediterranean during the early 16th century. Very readable
narrative history.
