Description

From the author of Mrs Engels and The Sisters Mao, an intimate family memoir about filial love and its limits, separation, and loss. Gavin is spending the quarantine with his eighty-year-old mother, whose mind is slowly slipping away.

He has returned home to care for her and to write a novel.

But all he can write about is her. In this frank and revealing memoir, he unspools an intimate story of his upbringing and early adulthood: feeling out of place as a child, homophobic bullying at school, his brother's mental illness and drug addiction, his father's sudden death, his own devastating diagnosis, his struggles and triumphs as a writer, and above all, his relationship with his mother.

Her brightness shines a light over his childhood, but her betrayal of his teenage self leads to years of resentment and disconnection.

Now, he must find a way to reconcile with her, before it is too late.
