Imagine Me Gone by Adam Haslett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
My head is still spinning after reading this book. It's incredibly sad and also beautiful.
When John and Margaret meet and start dating, she is unaware he has mental health issues. But when she finds out, she goes ahead with the marriage.
There don't seem to be more problems than any normal family would have, until the day that John makes a drastic decision that will change them from then on.
Their three children: Michael, Celia and Alec are as different as can be, and each will struggle with the family history in their own way, as will Margaret.
Michael, who is as troubled as his father, will struggle through the years to balance his life and mind, involving all the family. Even when they are far away, they will regroup in order to help him survive.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
