The Radleys

By: Matt Haig

Narrated by: Mark Meadows

NOW A MAJOR FILM STARRING DAMIAN LEWIS AND KELLY MACDONALD

FAMILIES. SOMETIMES THEY'RE A BLOODY NIGHTMARE . . .

Life with the Radleys: Radio 4, dinner parties with the Bishopthorpe neighbours and self-denial. Loads of self-denial. But all hell is about to break loose. When teenage daughter Clara gets attacked on the way home from a party, she and her brother Rowan finally discover why they can't sleep, can't eat a Thai salad without fear of asphyxiation and can't go outside unless they're smothered in Factor 50.

With a visit from their lethally louche Uncle Will and an increasingly suspicious police force, life in Bishopthorpe is about to change. Drastically.©2010 Matt Haig (P)2020 Canongate Books Ltd

Grisly

I made a mistake in choosing this book. I didn't enjoy the extreme nature of its bloodyness. I couldnt finish it. The narrator was brilliant , although it would have been better to not understand what he was saying.
I have enjoyed other books by Matt Haig and this one caught me by surprise. Not sure that it is suitable for any reader
