The Red House was published in 2012 by English author Mark Haddon, set in Herefordshire in 2010.

[1] Richard, a successful doctor attempts to reconcile his long-estranged sister Angela in the wake of the death of their mother.

He invites her family to spend a week in the Herefordshire countryside near Hay-on-Wye in the Black Mountains.

Richard has remarried Louisa and her wilful daughter Melissa; Angela is married to a feckless husband, Dominic, and has three children; Alex, Daisy, and Benjy.

Over a week the two families mingle, falling out and making up with complex combinations in a holiday let in the eponymous Red House.
