The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time: The classic Sunday Times bestseller

by Mark Haddon (Author)

Synopsis

`A superb achievement. He is a wise and bleakly funny writer with rare gifts of empathy' Ian McEwan It was 7 minutes after midnight. The dog was lying on the grass in the middle of the lawn in front of Mrs Shears' house. Its eyes were closed. It looked as if it was running on its side, the way dogs run when they think they are chasing a cat in a dream. But the dog was not running or asleep. The dog was dead. This is Christopher's story, and through this radically imaginative and generous novel, his world is revealed, full of terror, love, strangeness and surprise.
