Description

A 39-year-old man with Asperger's syndrome and obsessive-compulsive disorder lives alone in a rigidly structured routine. His daily schedule is meticulously planned, including tracking his waking time and watching a specific TV show each night. However, when a single mother and her son move in across the street, Edward's carefully constructed world begins to unravel. As he opens up to his new neighbours, Edward confronts old grievances with his estranged parents and experiences the joys and heartaches of friendship. Over the course of 600 hours, he must decide whether to return to his solitary ways or embrace the world outside his door. This moving novel explores themes of routine, relationships, and personal growth, offering a heartfelt and humorous portrayal of an underdog's journey towards self-discovery.
