I love the sound of this novel, for everything that’s said about it and the enthusiasm of the review. I have to confess a further mercenary aspect- already I’ve started to imagine it being adaptable for the stage and a project to work on with my daughter. I’ve adapted several novels for stage and loved that and performed several times with my son. To do so with my daughter would be incredible but I’ll hold my horses and see if she’ll read the book first. She already has an understanding of autism from within her community and from an adaptation of the book The Reason I Jump which she saw several times.
So thank you so much for drawing my attention to this. It will, I’m sure from your review, be a deep pleasure in its own right!
