Family: Vintage Minis

A man is trapped in a hot flat above the shipyard, caring for a wife who will live out her days in this bed, watching this television. Twin sisters are separated at seven weeks and know nothing of one another, only an absence that walks beside them always on the road. Family, that slippery word, a star to every wandering bark, and everyone sailing under a different sky.

Mark Haddon brings his playful, polyphonic imagination to bear on that crucible that built us, for better or worse: family.
