The Sunday Times Bestseller

Shortlisted for the Booker Prize 2022

From the Pulitzer Prize-Winning Author

Extraordinary – The New York Times

Remarkable – Observer

Heartfelt – The Guardian

Bewilderment tells the story of Theo Byrne, a promising young scientist who has discovered a way to search for life on planets dozens of light years away. However, his greatest challenge is at home as the widowed father of a most unusual nine-year-old.

His son, Robin, is funny, loving, and full of plans. Robin thinks and feels deeply, adores animals, and can spend hours painting elaborate pictures. Yet, after a violent outburst from Robin at school, the strength of their close bond will be tested to its limits...

What can a father do when those around him refuse to understand his rare and troubled child? And how can he reveal to his boy the truth about our beautiful, bewildered world?
