An episodic novel employing multiple POVs, the primary narrator is a six-year-old boy with an implied social disability, a charmingly idiosyncratic voice that heightens the impact of the dramatic situation and is often quite funny.
Comps might include The Color of Bee Larkham's Murder by Sarah J. Harris, as well as The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon.
Holdstock's previous novels have been favourably reviewed in TLS and The Times and garnered multiple listings for major Canadian awards.
