    The set-up of Mark Haddon's brilliant new novel is simple: Richard, a wealthy doctor, invites his estranged sister Angela and her family to join his for a week at a vacation home in the English countryside. Richard has just re-married and inherited a willful stepdaughter in the process; Angela has a feckless husband and three children who sometimes seem alien to her. The stage is set for seven days of resentment and guilt, a staple of family gatherings the world over.

    Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

    poorly read- confusing since the character speaking is not annouunced


    What aspect of Maxwell Caulfield’s performance would you have changed?

    introduce characters or at least alternate voices


    Was The Red House worth the listening time?

    no


    Any additional comments?

    based on his first book, i was excited to listen to this one. i was quite dissapointed and didn't finish listening due to confusing monotonic recitation of the story
