Rent A Spot of Bother

Synopsis

After George retires at 61, a tiny spot on his hip convinces him that he has cancer. That's not all that's going wrong in his life: his wife is cheating on him, his daughter is about to marry yet another loser, his gay son doesn't think his dad can handle his sexual identity, and George is gradually losing his marbles. Mark Haddon dips into each family member's mind, capturing the idiosyncrasies of the human psyche with the same deft and humorous insight that made THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT-TIME such a success.
