Of all the children to live, why did it have to be him?A village school building collapses.
Only one child survives.
To his own parents he is Douglas: a daily reminder of their survivor's guilt. To the others he is 'Dog': a hated emblem of their unbearable loss.
Seven years after the tragedy, Dog's parents have abandoned him and the villagers' grief has burned to rage. And without Dog's parents there to protect him, the community's desire for catharsis and sacrifice will become unstoppable...
Uncompromising and powerful, THE WRONG CHILD is a heartbreaking - but ultimately hopeful - exploration of loss and grief in an unimaginable situation. A must-read for fans of WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN.
