A Stone Boat by Andrew Solomon
Part eulogy, part confession, this novel is an intense exploration of a mother/son relationship. Harry, the narrator, is a young, wealthy and talented pianist. He lives in London and New York and, when his mother is found to have cancer, he lives increasingly in the breached world of his family.
