As for the rest of the family, our hero Ally, the teenage girl profoundly deafened by a horrific car crash, her irritating little brother, stoic grandmother and loving but busy parents, all feel like a real, relatable unit.Īlly and her father Huw are the real heroes, piecing together what’s happening, and how they should respond, as the story is largely told from their similar but crucially different perspectives. The ultimate fate of Otis, the loveable hound in this book is obvious long before it unfolds, but it’s still an emotionally draining passage. And then I had a bit (more than a bit) of a cry in the cinema.
