Shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal.
What the judges said: This is a story of family life, rendered more chaotic than ever by the arrival of a self-obsessed stranger.
Mark demonstrates her unerring ability to unpick the strands of everyday living and make the ordinary appear extraordinary.
The story is told with wry wit and humour, employing sharp irony and masterful dialogue.
A tale of how a family becomes entangled in the turbulent lives of another. It's a normal family of sorts - and then another 'normal' family moves into the street and things become weird. The Stranger Who Nearly destroyed My Life would be a good title for a film of what happened next... but would anyone dare to watch it?
