Beautiful, elegant, harrowing... This is a book that makes you
eager, once more, for the complications of the world
*Colum McCann*
This beautiful, tragic novel will haunt you for the rest of your
life... Michael is simply one of the finest characters I've ever
come across... An extraordinary work of art
*Paul Harding*
Marvellously lucid and intelligent... [a] novel about family, love,
and a despair that proves unbearable
*Joy Williams*
Imagine Me Gone is beautiful, it's terrifying, it's intimate and
epic, and it's devastating - one of the great books about loss and
mourning and the ineluctable laws that govern families. I cannot
describe the force or the depth of its accomplishment except to say
that this magnificent work of art has overwhelmed me and broken my
heart. It will take me a long time to come to terms with this
novel.
*Tony Kushner*
Universal and essential. A book that you do not read as much as
feel, deeply in the very marrow of your bones
*BookPage*
There are some books, and this is one, that grab you in the first
paragraphs and don't let go. A beautiful novel that re-evaluates
how we cope with tragedy
*Elle*
Brilliantly captures the excruciating burden of love
*Esquire*
Dark and winning humour, poignant tenderness, and sentences so
astute that they lift the spirit. But make no mistake, the novel's
most rewarding surprise is its heart
*New York Times Book Review*
