‘Question 7 could be Richard Flanagan s greatest yet’ Guardian A masterpiece Mark Haddon This is a book about the choices we make and the chain reaction that follows . . .By way of H. G. Wells and Rebecca West s affair, through 1930s nuclear physics, to Flanagan s father working as a slave labourer near Hiroshima when the atom bomb is dropped, this daisy chain of events reaches fission when a young man finds himself trapped in a rapid on a wild river, not knowing if he is to live or to die.Flanagan has created a love song to his island home and his parents and the terrible past that delivered him to that place.Through a hypnotic melding of dream, history, science, and memory, Question 7 shows how our lives so often arise out of the stories of others and the stories we invent about ourselves. I was fascinated, troubled, and enchanted by this strange and extraordinary work… I can think of nothing else quite like it Sarah Perry Mighty in its rage and tenderness: his most momentous book yet Laura Cumming’Spectacular . . . It seems to me a book that will have an overwhelming effect on readers. It certainly did on me’ Colm T ib n
