Imagine Me Gone - Adam Haslett

When Margaret's fiancé, John, is hospitalized for depression in 1960s London, she faces a choice: carry on with their plans despite what she now knows of his condition, or back away from the suffering it may bring her. She decides to marry him.



Imagine Me Gone is the unforgettable story of what unfolds from this act of love and faith. At the heart of it is their eldest son, Michael, a brilliant, anxious music fanatic who makes sense of the world through parody.



Over the span of decades, his younger siblings, the savvy and responsible Celia and the ambitious and tightly controlled Alec struggle along with their mother to care for Michael's increasingly troubled and precarious existence.



Told in alternating points of view by all five members of the family, this searing, gut wrenching, and yet frequently hilarious novel brings alive with remarkable depth and poignancy the love of a mother for her children, the often inescapable devotion siblings feel toward one another, and the legacy of a father's pain in the life of a family.
