Through The Tunnel, written by Dorris Lessing, is about a mother and her son, Jerry going on a vacation somewhere in France. They have settled down in a villa behind a thriving beach with a wild, rocky bay that Jerry takes interest in. For day one, Jerry’s mother decides to take him to the safe beach and just relax on the soft, glowing sand. This is where he first gets to see the rocky bay that looks so much more dangerous and fun then the beach. But Jerry choses to stay for the now as it is only the beginning of the trip.
