Abstract

Teresa Thornhill is an English barrister who has had three decades of experience working in the field of child protection law. She has previously authored works about women, refugees, and vulnerable people in the Middle East. She writes engagingly, with a neat turn of phrase: at one point she describes an opposing barrister, whom she found smug and self-satisfied, as looking ‘cool and calm as a glass of mint tea’ (p. 5).
