Itty Bitty Book Review: "The Red House"

 "The Red House" by Mark Haddon


I enjoyed the "Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time" very much by Haddon so when I saw this in a used bookstore here I bought it.  I've enjoyed it very much.  A story about a brother and sister who have been estranged for many years and the death of their mother brings them together.  The brother,  a well off doctor,  rents a house in Wales for both families to stay for a week together.  It's really quite wonderful done….excellent character development and great development of everyone's point of view.
