Stuart Evers charts the reverberations that echo through life when a child makes the first lapse - or leap - from truth-telling to lies. Read by Anton Lesser.
The idea of 'leap' can include conceptual leaps of faith, or hope, as well as the crossing over from one side to another. Stuart Evers explores the stages or leaps in a child's development and in particular that first momentous occasion when a parent recognises that his child has told a deliberate untruth.
From then on, the parent learns about the lies and loves of their offspring and, in this story, a single parent father reflects on what he has learned from his daughter.
