From the bestselling author of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time and A Spot of Bother comes a superb book about family and secrets

Two families. Seven days. One house.

Angela and her brother Richard have spent twenty years avoiding each other. Now, after the death of their mother, they bring their families together for a holiday in a rented house on the Welsh border. Four adults and four children. Seven days of shared meals, log fires, card games and wet walks.
But in the quiet and stillness of the valley, ghosts begin to rise up. The parents Richard thought he had. The parents Angela thought she had. Past and present lovers. Friends, enemies, victims, saviours.

Once again Mark Haddon, author of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time and A Spot of Bother, has written a novel that is funny, poignant and deeply insightful about human lives.

Commentaires

Every bit as charmingly idiosyncratic as his brilliant The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time (Henry Sutton)
A hugely enjoyable, sympathetic novel...a tremendous pleasure...we have been absorbed, entertained and moved (Kate Kellaway)
Mark Haddon is terrifyingly talented... The Red House is thoroughly engrossing and enjoyable entertainment (Angus Clarke)
Shockingly well-observed, gut-wrenchingly familiar and even heartbreaking at times
A masterly evocation of two dysfunctional, yet outwardly respectable families (Jane Clinton)
With writing as elegant and truthful as this, readers will wish to keep their copies close at hand to savour again (Michael Arditti)
There are passages here to die for (Christopher Bray)
Haddon has a true understanding of the human heart. Whether he is writing about the teenagers...or the adults and their misjudgements, he never puts a foot wrong. The Red House shows that Haddon is much more than a one-hit wonder: he is a real novelist, and he is here to stay (Sophie Waugh)
A bitingly honest tale of modern family life
It’s not every writer who can describe everyday domestic trauma with wit and without condescension. It’s a lot of fun to watch these midlife and adolescent crises come to the boil. And what shines is Haddon’s flair for observational comedy (Anthony Cummins)
