Getting Free is a novel by British author Nigel Hinton that was first published in 1978. It tells the story of a teenage couple who ran away when they discovered they were expectant parents and to escape from an abusive and disapproving father.
Concept[edit]
Hinton had neighbours who were famous mountain climbers, a young couple who were into things that he was not. He decided that writing about the couple would be good for him.[1]
