Summary
Liz Jensen: The Ninth Life of Louis Drax
Louis Drax is not like other boys. He is an extraordinary and strange eight-year-old, and every year a terrible accident happens to him. So far, he managed to survive - to jump to his feet, like a cat. But cats only have nine lives, and Louis has wasted eight of them, one for each year of his life.
On his ninth birthday, Louis goes on a picnic with his parents and falls off a cliff. The details are shrouded in secrecy. Louis' mother is out of her mind from shock and his father has disappeared. Louis survived, but is in a deep coma and is placed in the clinic of Dr. Pascal Dannachet. The Ninth Life of Louis Drax is a story of family disintegration, told through the words of a comatose boy and Doctor Dannachet, who is slowly drawn into the world of Drax family secrets. Full of exciting twists and turns, this is the ultimate story about the secrets hidden in the human mind.
