Beschreibung
In this time-slip adventure epic of fathers, mothers and daughters, pirates an ghosts, Mark Haddon moves from ancient times to modern to confront the perils of childbirth, the madness of grief, and the broken institution of kingship. The characters are bold, extraordinary, larger than life - including some significant female leads. A wild and brilliant new novel from the author of "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time".
