About the Book

Hugely ambitious and richly human, the story of a family coping with the terrible legacy of tragedy Michael is a bright kid- funny, likable, obsessed with books and music. His sister Celia is the practical one, sensible, far tougher than her brothers. And then there's Alec, the most ambitious of the three but also the most sensitive, growing up in the shadow of his older siblings. The children are still living at home when their father walks into the woods alone one day and takes his own life. Years later, one of them will follow him. Weaving together the voices of five family members, Adam Haslett imagines how a single tragedy can define many lives.

Review :
Beautiful, elegant, harrowing... This is a book that makes you eager, once more, for the complications of the world 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 Marvellously lucid and intelligent... [a] novel about family, love, and a despair that proves unbearable 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. Universal and essential. A book that you do not read as much as feel, deeply in the very marrow of your bones 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 Brilliantly captures the excruciating burden of love 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
