Louis Drax is a boy like no other. He is brilliant and strange, and every year something violent seems to happen to him. He has always managed to survive - to land on his feet, like a cat. But cats have only nine lives, and Louis has used up eight, one for every year." "On his ninth birthday, Louis goes on a picnic with his parents and falls off a cliff. The details are shrouded in mystery. Louis's mother is shell-shocked; his father has vanished. And after some confusion Louis himself, miraculously alive but deep in a coma, arrives at Dr. Pascal Dannachet's celebrated coma clinic." The Ninth Life of Louis Drax is the story of a family falling apart, told in the vivid voices of its comatose son and Dr. Dannachet as he is drawn into the Draxes' circle. Full of twists and turns, this is a tale of the secrets the human mind can hide.
