FINALIST for the PULITZER PRIZE and long-listed for the NATIONAL BOOK AWARD, this novel has garnered widespread acclaim, including the LOS ANGELES TIMES BOOK PRIZE and recognition from major publications as one of the best books of the year. It presents a ferociously intimate story of a family grappling with the depths of love and sacrifice. Set in 1960s London, Margaret must decide whether to proceed with her wedding to John, who is hospitalized for depression, or to step back from the potential turmoil. Choosing love, she marries him, setting off a profound journey for their family. At the center is their eldest son, Michael, a brilliant but anxious music enthusiast who navigates life through parody. His siblings, Celia and Alec, alongside their mother, confront the challenges of caring for Michael as his struggles intensify. Told from the perspectives of all five family members, the narrative captures the complexities of familial love, sibling devotion, and the impact of a father's pain. With emotional precision and inventive language, the author crafts a poignant exploration of how we perceive and support those we cherish most, creating a powerful narrative that resonates deeply.
