Book of the month

'A spot of bother' by Mark Haddon

A Spot of Bother by Mark Haddon

Funny, profoundly insightful and deeply poignant. The fictional characters are so well written that you can believe in the world that is built around them.

A worthy successor to “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time”
