The riveting story of a woman who will risk everything to feel something; a doctor whose diagnosis brings her entire life into question; and a man who suddenly realizes that he can no longer be both a good husband and a good father.

More Than It Hurts You Summary

More Than It Hurts You by Darin Strauss

Will this hurt me...more than it hurts you?

Josh and Dori Goldin are the perfect couple. And they have a perfect baby boy: he is eight months old, he has blue eyes and tawny hair, and no, he hasn't started to talk yet. And he doesn't react to his name. And he did lose consciousness recently. And coughed up blood... And then his heart stopped. For no obvious reason.

But young children always scare their parents... Don't they?

More Than It Hurts You is the compelling and devastating story of a seemingly perfect family spinning into crisis: a mother accused of harming her child, and a father shocked into realizing that the people he loves the most may be the people he should trust the least.

More Than It Hurts You Reviews

"'A wonderful but terrible novel about every family's worst nightmare... Hugely involving and controversial.' Red 'This book is harrowing, hurtling, heartbreaking and - more than anything - devastatingly accurate... A brilliant, sharp, suspenseful novel, impossible to turn your gaze from.' Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love 'If you don't belong to a book club, Darin Strauss's bitter and brilliant new novel is reason enough to start one.' Washington Post 'Compulsive... This book raises uncomfortable questions about truth, loyalty and prejudice.' (*****)Psychologies 'More Than It Hurts You has all the hallmarks of becoming a reading group favourite. Comparable to The Corrections for its depth and ability to generate conversation... Harrowing yet riveting.' Bookseller"
