Description

“Shriver has a gift for creating real and complicated characters… A highly engrossing novel.” — San Francisco Chronicle From New York Times bestselling author Lionel Shriver (The Post-Birthday World, We Need to Talk About Kevin), comes a searing, deeply humane novel about a crumbling marriage resurrected in the face of illness, and a family’s struggle to come to terms with disease, dying, and the obscene cost of medical care in modern America.

    Shriver dishes up timely novel tackling the ever-rising costs of healthcare that can easily wipe out a life's savings even of the comfortable. All this is presented in an eminently readable package where the main characters, two couples with their respective kids, pretty much cover the spectrum of opinions. What made this book special for me was not only the story itself, about people's lifelong dreams dashed (but not quite) by illness and how they cope with it all, but Shriver's brilliant writing that is simply a treat.
