Description
Shakespeare's Pericles is transformed by Mark Haddon into a vivid, breathtaking adventure that zooms between antiquity and the present day.
A motherless girl grows up in isolated luxury, hidden from the world by her wealthy father. She believes their life together is normal - but as time passes, she has a growing sense that something between them is very wrong.
She cannot escape, so she seeks solace in her books. Her favourite tales are those that conjure ancient worlds - of angry gods and heroic mortals, one of whom will some day come to her rescue.
Soon, she will forget where the page ends and her mind begins.
'Just downright brilliant... a transcendent, transporting experience' Observer
'A full-throttle blast of storytelling mastery' Max Porter
