THE MAN ON THE MIDDLE FLOOR
Mark Haddon meets Elizabeth Haynes in this unforgettable debut novel
Despite living in the same three-flat house in the suburbs of London, the residents are strangers to one another. The bottom floor is home to Tam, a recent ex-cop who spends his days drowning his sorrows in whisky. On the middle floor is Nick, a young man with Asperger’s who likes to stick to his schedules and routines. The top floor belongs to Karen, a doctor and researcher who has spent her life trying to understand the rising rates of autism. They have lived their lives separately, until now, when an unsolved murder and the man on the middle floor connect them all together. Told from three points of view, The Man on the Middle Floor is about disconnection in all its forms; sexual, physical, parental and emotional. It questions whether society is meeting the needs of the fast growing autistic section of society, or exacerbating it.

A DEBUT AUTHOR'S ADVICE ON WRITING YOUR FIRST NOVEL
"Elizabeth Moore is the author of The Man On The Middle Floor, her first novel. Here she shares her tips for writing yours... Writing is unlike almost anything else you will ever decide to do. It’s an undertaking of arrogance, to sit down at a blank page and decide that your opinions, your stories and your experiences are worth turning into words on a page and that others are going to want to read them."
SOTALK OF THE TOWN BOOKS
