In a bravura feat of storytelling, Mark Haddon calls upon narratives ancient and modern to tell the story of Angelica, a young woman trapped in an abusive relationship with her father.
When a young man named Darius discovers their secret, he is forced to escape on a boat bound for the Mediterranean.
To his surprise he finds himself travelling backwards over two thousand years to a world of pirates and shipwrecks, of plagues and miracles and angry gods.
Moving seamlessly between the past and the present, Haddon conjures the worlds of Angelica and her would-be savior in thrilling fashion.
As profound as it is entertaining, The Porpoise is a stirring and endlessly inventive novel from one of our finest storytellers.
