(2) YA The only hearing member of his family, high-school senior Theo has been burdened with the job of interpreter for most of his life. Most demanding is his mother, a famous sculptor whose imperious commands ensure that the family revolves around her. The novel is a moving exploration of the extraordinary demands a disability places on a family as well as the effects of an exceptionally strong personality on a household.
