Audiolibro The Wrong Boy

The extraordinary first novel from the internationally acclaimed playwright.

Raymond Marks is a normal boy, from a normal family, in a normal northern town. His Dad left home after falling in love with a five-string banjo; his fun-hating Gran believes she should have married Jean-Paul Sartre: 'I could never read his books, but y'could tell from his picture, there was nothing frivolous about Jean-Paul Sartre.' Felonious Uncle Jason and Appalling Aunty Paula are lusting after the satellite dish; frogs are flattened on Failsworth Boulevard; and Sickening Sonia's being sick in the majestic cathedral of words. Raymond Marks is a normal boy, from a normal family, in a normal northern town. Until, on the banks of the Rochdale Canal, the flytrapping craze begins and, for Raymond and his Mam, nothing is ever quite so normal again.

In The Wrong Boy, Willy Russell showcases his literary genius, crafting a top-notch fiction that explores the life of Raymond Marks, a normal boy in a normal northern town. The flytrapping craze that sweeps through the town adds an unexpected twist to the narrative, making it one of the best in its genre.

For fans of Arthur Miller (Incident at Vichy), and Cgp Books (GCSE English Shakespeare Text Guide).
