The Strawberry Garden tells the story of Richard Deacon, a man whose
single-minded determination, bordering on obsession, gained him everything a man
could wish for. However his relentless pursuit of financial success cost him his
marriage and estranged his only son. His business dealings take him to France and
there he meets by chance a penniless deaf gypsy boy. Over time he begins to realise
that his wealth means nothing at all without friendship and love. When his unlikely
relationship with the boy comes under the scrutiny of the local authority and becomes
the subject of growing gossip he is forced to make a decision. Does he risk everything
he has taken a lifetime to build to maintain his relationship with the boy or does
he turn his back and walk away?
