[It] resembles the work of Anne Tyler, intertwining grief and love... Intimate and panoramic' The Sunday Times 'Dreadfully sad and hilariously funny. Literature of the highest order' Peter Carey Universal and essential, the heart-breaking story of an ordinary American family shaped by tragedy Michael's father walked into the woods one day, and out of his family's life for ever.

He wants to save them - but can he save himself?
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 *

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 *
