In 'The Red House', Mark Haddon, the acclaimed author of 'The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time', presents an inventive novel about modern family life. Richard, a wealthy doctor, invites his estranged sister and her family to spend a week at a vacation home in the English countryside. Against the backdrop of this peculiar family gathering, Haddon weaves together the stories of eight very different characters, forced to live in close proximity. The novel is a symphony of old grudges, faded dreams, and renewed hopes, guarded secrets, and illicit desires, offering a bittersweet, comic, and deeply emotional portrait of contemporary family life.
Mark Haddon is an English novelist, best known for The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time (2003). He won the Whitbread Award, the Dolly Gray Children's Literature Award, the Guardian Prize, and a Commonwealth Writers' Prize for his work.
