The Porpoise
English
By (author): Mark Haddon
Just downright brilliant... a transcendent, transporting experience Observer
A motherless girl grows up in isolated luxury, hidden from the world by her wealthy father. She believes their life together is normal but as time passes, she has a growing sense that something between them is very wrong.
She cannot escape, so she seeks solace in her books. Her favourite tales are those that conjure ancient worlds of angry gods and heroic mortals, one of whom will some day come to her rescue.
Soon, she will forget where the page ends and her mind begins.
A full-throttle blast of storytelling mastery Max Porter
