內容簡介
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, written by Mark Haddon, is a brilliantly unique and internationally acclaimed novel that offers a profound window into the mind of an extraordinary protagonist. The story is narrated by Christopher John Francis Boone, a fifteen-year-old boy with an exceptional gift for mathematics and logic, but who struggles immensely with interpreting human emotions and social cues (implied to be on the autism spectrum). Christopher’s world is upended when he discovers his neighbor’s dog, Wellington, brutally killed with a garden fork. Inspired by his favorite detective, Sherlock Holmes, he decides to investigate the mystery himself. What begins as a neighborhood murder mystery evolves into a deeply moving journey of family secrets, personal independence, and a groundbreaking exploration of how we perceive the world differently.
