Krátky popis
Family, that slippery word, a star to every wandering bark, and
everyone sailing under a different sky. After his mother's death,
Richard, a newly remarried hospital consultant, decides to build
bridges with his estranged sister, inviting Angela and her family
for a week in a rented house on the Welsh border. Four adults and
four children, a single family and all of them strangers. 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. And
watching over all of them from high on the dark hill, Karen,
Angela's stillborn daughter. ",The Red House", is about the
extraordinariness of the ordinary, weaving the words and thoughts
of the eight characters together with those fainter, stranger
voices - of books and letters and music, of the dead who once
inhabited these rooms, of the ageing house itself and the landscape
in which it sits. Once again Mark Haddon, bestselling 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.
