THE BOOK: Raymond has gone mad. Why? Was is some infant trauma, an enzyme imbalance, parental mistreatment? And what is to be done about it? Will anyone take the responsibility for Raymond? The NHS? His parents? His brothers and sisters? They have planned out their lives so carefully a family casualty is definitely not part of the equation. Will Raymond let them help him anyway? He seems to return hate for love, savagery for kindness. More disturbingly, if they try to abandon him, will he ever leave them alone?
