Saul Dawson-Smith can memorise the sequence of a
shuffled deck of cards in under a minute; he can recite
pi to a thousand decimal places and he remembers every
conversation he's ever had. He is ten years old. Howard
McNamee is twenty-eight: lonely, overweight and poorly
educated. He lives far from the scene of his difficult
Glasgow childhood, in the home he shared with his
mother. Struggling to pay his rent with a succession of
menial jobs, Howard comes home each day and talks to the
late Mrs McNamee, as he sits in front of the wardrobe
that still contains her clothes. These two solitary
people find themselves forming an unlikely friendship,
as Howard is taken under the wing of Saul's parents,
thrust into a life in London (where he tries to navigate
a bewildering new city and accidentally acquires a
Russian internet fiancee), and Saul prepares himself for
the World Memory Championships - the event he has been
training for his whole life. But as the pressure mounts
on the young boy Howard realises he must act to save his
small friend from a life of unbearable expectation. The
decision he reaches turns all of their lives upside
down.Saul and Howard embark on an extraordinary
adventure: the road trip they take together is an
exhilarating escape-bid, a journey into Howard's past
and a bewitchingly strange voyage of discovery for man
and boy. |
