Recensioner i media

"Every bit as charmingly idiosyncratic as his brilliant The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" -- Henry Sutton Daily Mirror "A hugely enjoyable, sympathetic novel...a tremendous pleasure...we have been absorbed, entertained and moved" -- Kate Kellaway Observer "Mark Haddon is terrifyingly talented... The Red House is thoroughly engrossing and enjoyable entertainment" -- Angus Clarke The Times "Shockingly well-observed, gut-wrenchingly familiar and even heartbreaking at times" Stylist "A masterly evocation of two dysfunctional, yet outwardly respectable families" -- Jane Clinton Sunday Express
